Mental health workers say plans to reduce police at assessments put them in "grave danger".

A social worker was punched at work after police refused to support her as she assessed a client.

Plans to reduce police attendance at mental health call-outs have sparked fears more workers could be hurt or even killed.

The British Association of Social Workers (BASW) Cymru said the initiative put staff in “grave danger”.
