NHS leaders are being urged to tackle racist abuse of staff as new figures reveal that a third of black, Asian or minority ethnic workers in mental health trusts inhave experienced harassment, bullying or attacks by patients, relatives or members of the public.
The statistics that relate to staff being subject to abuse by other staff point to a disgraceful failure in the mechanisms and safeguards that are supposed to ensure such behaviour is challenged and exorcised. Dismal.
Those patients I worked with who resorted to abuse targeted characteristics which they thought would wound. Colleagues were subject to racist abuse; I used to get pejorative gay epithets; others were subject to misogynist abuse. We documented it all, and supported one another.
So, how many white staff in mental health facilities faced abuse and attacks? ...given that it's a mental health facility? Typical Guardian 'racism sells' BS! In the medical profession, being non-white is such a surprise, that these people are constantly mistaken for janitors!🤣
Honestly, I am amazed it is only a third.
Because they're dealing with people with mental health problems 🤔
