Safetell's installation went smoothly, we were so pleased we put in an order for another screen in the neighbouring store." Yamitraj Patel, Nisa, Wythenshawe ![](https://insights.safetell.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Wythenshawe-002-002-002-1-e1628081117309-603x1024-1.jpg?width=452&height=768&name=Wythenshawe-002-002-002-1-e1628081117309-603x1024-1.jpg) It's well known that since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in attacks and abuse against shopworkers. A [2020 crime survey](https://brc.org.uk/news/corporate-affairs/violence-and-abuse-against-shop-workers-spirals/)conducted by the British Retail Consortium saw 424 incidents of violence or abuse each day, up by 9%, causing a ***£1 billion*** cost to retailers from crime. This has led to many efforts to protect shop workers, including [Respect for Shop Workers Week](https://www.usdaw.org.uk/Campaigns/Freedom-From-Fear/Respect-for-Shopworkers-Week) and [the Co-op’s “Safer Colleagues, Safer Communities”](https://www.safetell.co.uk/insights/major-retailers-call-for-bill-to-better-protect-shop-workers/) campaign. A recent installation of a manual attack-resistant screen into a Nisa in Wythenshawe prompted us to design a new screening solution aimed at the retail market. This screen is the perfect solution for an everyday screen in applications where staff require a moderate level of protection from potentially aggressive members of the public. This screen has been installed in over 150 retail stores across the UK since February 2021, with a positive response from all. If you require a Fully Framed Security Screen or any other retail security solution, a member of our team can help you.
