New legislation in Scotland brought in to crack down on incidents
The Retail Head of the Manx Co-op says there was a 'definite increase' in abuse towards shop workers in 2020.
New legislation (Protection of Workers Bill) which came into effect in Scotland yesterday (24 August) aims to protect retail staff against these incidents whilst granting tougher punishments for those who commit them.
Andy Corrie says the move has been welcomed across the sector:
'Essential' that school staff recognise the signs of an allergic reaction
Policy 'reflects the key principles associated with Benedict’s Law'
'High' risk of wildfires over the next week
More warm and dry weather is forecast
'Come From Away' to continue after cast member injured during rehearsal
Two Feathers Productions issues statement
'Parks in worse state then when I started' says Peel commissioner
Baptist disappointed with lack of investment in town's play areas
