Disablist, faith and belief, homophobic, racist and transphobic incidents

We are committed to eliminating discrimination from all aspects of our work and to ensuring we contribute to making Plymouth a safer place for minority communities. If you have experienced or witnessed an incident we want to hear about it.

Incidents may include:

• assault
• vandalism
• harassment
• damage to property
• name calling
• graffiti
• phone calls

This is not a complete list - other things may be offensive to you.

You can choose to report in one of two ways:

• by printing off a reporting form (see documents table below), completing it and returning it to Customer Services
• by completing the online reporting form

You will be contacted within 25 days - if it is going to take longer we will let you know.

Any information you provide will be stored confidentially and used to assist us in dealing with the incident you have reported. Anonymous details from your report will also be used for statistical purposes to help develop and improve policy and service delivery.
