As soon as I have been informed that a member of staff has been threatened, these would be the steps I would follow to protect the member of staff. • Have the staff member attend a meeting to find out what the threat is weather a personal threat from another staff member or an external threat. • Find out where the threat was made i.e. face to face or through a form of social media or email. • Depending on the threat if it’s an internal threat from a staff member I would inform Human Resources, just in case we need to follow up with any disciplinary actions. • Any external threat be it personal or to the company, would get the police involved. • Conduct a full investigation so a full report can be put together, making sure that all the facts are correct and any evidence that needs to be gathered be completed with continuity. If the police are involved making sure that all information and reports are passed on so they can continue with their own investigation. • Make sure all internal documentation is completed on a Human Resources level. • Once all information gathering has taken place I would make sure that the staff member gets victim support counselling if they require it. • Offer the staff member some time off from work, and make sure what guidelines Human Resources may have in place. • Once the event has taken place make sure there is some form of training in place so an event as such would not take place again, or more awareness can be taught to staff members. • If there is no further information or you do receive any further information, I would make sure that it is handed over to the Police if involved or to Human Resources so any extra actions can be followed up.
