Government tackles NHS violence
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

A NEW PLAN for tackling violence against NHS staff was launched by the Government yesterday. Under the programme, every NHS Trust has to set up procedures for recording assaults and draw up targets for reducing violence levels. One in seven of all reported incidents in the NHS involve assaults, which are the third most reported cause of injury after falls and needle accidents.
