Violence against Shop Workers
- Question
-
What steps his Department is taking to help tackle violence against shop workers.
- Answer
-
Violence and abuse towards shop workers is not and will never be acceptable. Last October the police published a retail crime action plan, which the Government have embraced and enhanced. Last week we launched the fighting retail crime action plan, which includes a commitment to create a new offence of assaulting a retail worker, as the sector has been calling for.
