REPORT A RACIST INCIDENT
     It is simplest to phone 01202 553003 and speak with our office manager. If you prefer you can download a report form by clicking here. When you do this a window will appear giving you the options to choose to save the form for later (remember where you put it) or to open it and fill it in immediately. You can either send it back to us as an email attachment or mail it (both addresses are on the form). If you mail the form, please, sign and date it. We will never share anything you tell us with anyone else without your written permission but we like to be professional right from the start. If the incident you are reporting develops and becomes more serious a signed form is better than one that is not. However, do not be put off by any of the above. We want to hear from you form or no form. We will advise you as to what you need to do.  If you have suffered a racial incident get in touch. No one needs to suffer in silence.

     You might also wish to do the following:
  • Keep notes of what happened, including dates; times; names and so on, in a diary if possible.
  • If there were witnesses to the incident ask them to write down what they saw (get them to sign and date what they write). If possible, make a note of their name and address.
  • Save any written material to do with the incident. For example, someone might have sent you an abusive written note or pinned it on a notice board or sent an email or whatever - save it (you can always forward emails to our office (see form for address). Bits of written material that you might think is of no significance might yield valuable evidence if legal action results from the incident you are reporting. Let a lawyer decide on the important of individual items of evidence. 
     The main rule however is get in touch. Don't suffer in silence, we are here to help and support you.
