This is a story about the North Bristol Trust, a company that services hospitals in Bristol, launching a new program called the Red Card to Racism. In the program, if a patient is being abusive to a staff member in a racist or sexist way, they'll be given a warning and a yellow card. If they refuse to stop being racially abusive, they'll get a red card. And if it's safe to do so, at that point they will withdraw from providing treatment for this patient. The program grew out of a large spike in racist abuse being thrown at staff at the hospital and a recognition that no one should have to work in that sort of environment.
