New legal protections for customer-facing workers – which we have been campaigning for through our Service with Respect initiative – have come into force. The new legislation means tougher sentencing for people who commit assaults against a person providing a public service.
#servicewithrespect
We have been working with businesses and parliamentarians to protect employees by introducing legislation that acts as a strong deterrent to those who assault public-facing workers.

Our CEO, Jo Causon, on Sky's Ian King Live
Following many months of campaigning, the Government tabled an amendment to the Sentencing Bill, making assaults on those providing a public service an aggravating factor in sentencing decisions.
In a big win for our Service with Respect campaign and all who have supported it, the amendment passed with support from all parties, and Royal Assent of the Bill was gained on 28 April 2022.
