East Lothian Council is tackling rising incidents of abuse. Posters in council offices, schools and community centres will urge people to think before acting.

Deputy council leader Stuart MacKinnon said: "We hope this campaign with its message of 'respect us as we respect you' will create a safer and better working environment for all our staff."
