(c) assaulted by a claimant in the ACC employee’s workplace; and requested charges be brought against the claimant.

Request 2: Method of reporting

Of those incidences in response 1, how many were reported to the police:
(a) by dialing 111 and requesting emergency services; and
(b) by using the online reporting forms and not requiring emergency services.

Request 3: Charges brought

Of those incidences in response 1, how many claimants were formally charged with:
(a) harassment of an ACC employee in the ACC employee’s workplace;
(b) threat of harm or assault (or whatever the criminal charge is) of an ACC employee in the ACC employee’s workplace;
(c) assault of an ACC employee in the ACC employee’s workplace.
