No Excuse for Abuse
No one should be subjected to abuse of any kind from service users and the public while at work.
No one working on behalf of CWPT should ever feel devalued in their role or because of their race, disability, sexual orientation, beliefs, or any aspect of their identity.
We stand together with our staff against any form of discrimination and abuse and as an organisation we will use all powers available to us to protect them. To this end, we have launched a #NoExcuseforAbuse campaign.
