Can I leave without giving notice

 

There are all sorts of options including just walking away from the job. Best advice would be to seek union aassistance. Are you with a union? Assuming that you are ring them and explain the situation and hopefully you will get the support you need. Even if you are not yet in a union you may still be able to get help so please still contact them for advice before making any immediate decisions you will regret later. (You could always take a couple of days sick leave to give yourself the time to get advice before having to decide what to do.)  RCN - www.rcn.org.uk Unison - www.unison.org.uk Unite - www.unitetheunion.org

 

When you say that you sustained an injury at work - did you fill out an incident form? Did you visit your GP or occupational helath or the A&E department so that official documentation of the injury was recorded? It may not be too late to do this but you need to start by getting good advice. As well as talking to your union and as much I it goes against the grain to suggest it you might also want to consider contact someone like the National Accident Helpline for "subjectively" "objective" advice. Clearly this will be likely to be from a non-professional point of view but that may not be such a bad thing.

 

One thing you need is as much evidence as possible. Write everything down in an objective way. Write a diary of your concerns. Were any of the issues raised to management by who and what response did they get etc.

 

Let us know how you get on.

 

Good luck,
