The State will be able to file a complaint in the event of an attack on one of its agents: this was announced by the Minister of the Civil Service, Stanislas Guérini, at the Parisian to be published Monday September 18. The measure is part of a “protection plan” civil servants. ” The philosophy “ of this plan aimed at “priority to counter agents” East “never leave agents alone in the face of difficulties, threats, violence”explained the minister.
In recent months, several news items have highlighted the potential danger of these professions in contact with the public, such as the case of this nurse who died after being stabbed by a patient in May at the Reims University Hospital.
Until then, the administration could not file a complaint when a user injured an agent without damaging equipment or buildings. The Ministry of Public Service thus intends to enable “to affirm support for the agent, to fight against the agent’s self-censorship and to strengthen the complaint”. The measure must be integrated into the next civil service reform.
Alert buttons
It is also planned to extend functional protection to beneficiaries, such as the spouse or family, as a precautionary measure. The government also announces a strengthening of “security devices”such as alert buttons and video surveillance cameras, by releasing an envelope of one million euros, as well as a “barometer” annual “to measure the incivility and violence suffered by agents”which will be launched in early 2024.
On September 1, Stanislas Guérini hammered home during a speech at the Regional Institute of Administration in Villeurbanne, in the Lyon region, that “the first thing that the public employer owes to its agents is physical protection”.
Speaking to Agence France-Presse, Céline Verzeletti, the general secretary of the Federal Union of State Unions-CGT, the leading public service union, insisted on the need to implement existing systems. “We have the right to functional protection” insured by the employer, she explained, but “often, when we ask for it, we are refused it.”
