Reporting Hate Crime

At CLEAR we work with a wide and diverse community of people from a variety of communities, and sadly we have seen a rise in hate crime towards migrants living in shared housing, Muslim men and women, and people who are thought ‘not to be British’. We would encourage anyone to report any incidents, even if it isn’t a formal crime, as the information will help the police understand who is being impacted in the community. If you need help with reporting, please contact us.

• Report to the police
  If you feel willing and able to report it to the police, there is a dedicated form available here. If it is an emergency, call 999 or 101
• Report to Crimestoppers
  You can report crimes without giving personal details via Crimestoppers, which is anonymous. A form is available here.
• Tell Mama
  For resources and reporting of hate crime towards the Muslim community
• Antisemitic Incidents
  For resources and reporting of hate crime towards Jewish people, organisations or property.
