Where to go for support

Emergency services

If you’ve been the victim of racial abuse, or witnessed someone being racially abused, then you need to call the police. DO NOT engage in any violence or criminal activity in retaliation

You should call 999 if you’re in immediate danger, or 101 if the abuse has already happened.

You should:

  • be as specific as you can

  • give as many details as possible

  • supply any evidence you can
