What to do if you are racially discriminated, victimized or harassed

Take Action...

First of all tell the police, whether you think it will help or not.
Try to keep a record of the things that have happend or are happening e.g. date, time, place, what happend, any witnesses etc.
If it is happening in school or the work place, use the complaints procedure.
Look for support. Talk things through with someone. If you are a pupil, speak to someone you have confidence in and feel you can trust them or as a student you can contact your student union.
Seek outside support to take up the matter. Sheffield Racial Equality Council could help. Contact us to discuss things further.
If you have already used the institution's complaints to complain and the matter has not been resolved, you can also contact one of the organisations on our contact information & useful links page!
