Safety is of paramount importance to all psychiatrists. Just one piece of advice may make all the difference to you or to one of your trainees.

This Council Report contains practical advice on maintaining personal safety and sets standards for safety training, interview rooms and on-call accommodation. Recommendations are made about safety training for use on trainees' induction days and for the development of local policies and procedures on safety. Guidance is given about what to do in the event of an assault.

This document is essential reading for all educational supervisors, scheme organisers, trainees and anyone interested in personal safety in the field of psychiatry.
