WEED OUT project is funded by the European Commission´s Erasmus + programme. The project started in November 2021 and lasts for 2 years. This project will design a unique training programme and develop the relevant tools for HORECA management to prevent, identify and manage occupational violence. In the case occupational violence, preventive measures may not eliminate incidents of violent behaviours completely, but they will reduce them considerably and discourage future ones. HORECA is a sector where occupational violence thrives, primarily because it is manned by people with lower formal qualifications or very little training or come from vulnerable groups of the population such as young people, women with family responsibilities, migrants or members of ethnic minorities.
