Manx Care receives reports of abusive behaviour towards staff

Manx Care is receiving reports about abusive behaviour towards its staff across services.

The health body says colleagues are getting abuse in person, via social media and on answerphone messages.

It adds that staff are working hard to ensure everyone’s needs are met, sometimes under pressure and in very busy conditions, and aggressive behaviour and abusive messages will not be tolerated.

Manx Care understands that people may have concerns and complaints, but can only engage with those who behave in an appropriate manner.
