Harassment

Harassment is a deliberate attack against a group or individual because of their race, sexuality, HIV/Aids status, age, mental health problem or disability. Sometimes there may be no obvious reason for harassment.

Please let us know if you are being harassed and we will do our best to help, by giving you advice, support and, where possible, taking action against the person or people harassing you. You should also report the problem to the police, who may also be able to take action.

Contacting us

If you would like to report an incident or incidents of harassment, you can do so on this website, using our harassment initial report form. Your personal details will be secure.
