Violence in the health sector is a serious problem that has gained a great deal of attention over the last decade partly as a consequence of tragic cases involving patients, health professionals, and community members.

- Inform staff about best practices in screening, assessing, and managing violence risk while fulfilling professional responsibility, and protect staff from potential liability.
