I wondered if anyone has suggestions re: safety of employees, particularly in relation to hate crimes? Since the referendum result we have reassured staff that all are welcome, that we will keep them updated of any employment changes that may affect non-EU staff, and SMT doors' are open if staff want to discuss any concerns. However, because of the increase in racist attacks signposted staff, we've also been signposting staff to where they can report hate crimes and where they can get support. As it happens, I was organising self-defence / safety awareness training in-house anyway and have had several more people interested since the result. Any suggestions on what else we could do to support staff in making them feel safe? NB I've asked staff this question too!
