Harassement

Harassment is the interference with a person’s comfort or safety. It can be physical or verbal abuse or intimidation. It includes attacks on and damage to property.

A racist incident is any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person on the grounds of a person’s ethnic origin, race, colour or religion.

Sexual harassment is interference with a person’s comfort or safety on grounds of their gender or sexual orientation.

We take reports of harassment very seriously and have specific procedures to deal with reports promptly, effectively and consistently. 

We also have strong partnerships with other agencies for investigating and tackling complaints of harassment.
