#AlwaysReportAbuse

Posted on in Business News , Cycles News

Always Report AbuseSpread the message. Always report abuse!

Violence and abuse against retailers across the UK is a major issue, but one that does not get reported and as such doesn't get dealt with by the police.

The Home Office and many others are fighting to get the message out. 

The primary aim of the campaign is to encourage more shopworkers and retailers to report all incidents of abuse when they occur.

This campaign wants to raise awareness around the subject of violence and abuse on the High Streets as well as educate consumers about the impact that abuse and violence have on the people working in retail.

Lets spread the word and support the lifeblood of the UK high streets, independent retailers. Please spread word of the campaign on social media and to other businesses around.

It is not your job to take their abuse. But you can report it.  


Together lets #AlwaysReportAbuse.
