Drawing upon a growing corpus of knowledge, this article examines the extent and impact of violence on health and social care staff. Whilst individual and collective strategies for preventing and avoiding violence are explored, the article also examines themes which emerge from the research literature and considers some of the complexities surrounding this area. Current policies with respect to violence against health and social care staff are the subject of reflection as are future possibilities for research.

Fear‐based policy has also created a more exclusivist, segmented society.
