Employers "fail to support violence victims"
One in four violent crimes happens to people at their place of work yet frequently employers offer then little help, according to the charity, Victim Support.
"Violence in the work place can shatter employees' confidence and may destroy their ability to do their job", said Helen Reeves, a director of Victim Support, which helps around 400,000 people a year. "The response of the employed is an important factor in the victim's recovery"
Recent cases included a cashier who lost all self-confidence after being held at gun-point three times in the building society where she worked. Her employed offered little assistance and she felt she had to resign.
A security guard seriously assaulted during an armed raid suffered night mares and panic attacks. He became terrified of going to work and took frequent sick leave.
Victim Support says there is a financial incentive for employers to provide more assistance.
