To report a hate incident please use our online Hate Incident Report Form.

We have recently developed and implemented a policy and procedure for the reporting and recording of hate incidents.

Hate incidents have the potential to be extremely detrimental in people’s lives and in wider society. They can cause great personal harm and damage to community relations.   Publicised attacks on people in one area frighten people from the same group in another. Tamworth Borough Council and its partners are committed to ensuring good relations between all people within the Borough. To make certain that the council plays an active and prominent role in monitoring and reducing hate incidents, the local authority has devised a reporting system. Its purpose is to identify incidents in the Borough involving employees, customers and councillors; and deliver a consistent professional approach to reduce and eliminate this particular often hidden problem.

It is the intention of this policy to be used when the complaint involves behaviour or discrimination against an individual(s). Where the complaint is in relation to Tamworth Borough Council polices or procedures then the details should be recorded in accordance with the Tell Us scheme.

Our full policy can be accessed by clicking the link on the right of the screen.

Please complete the attached form and email it hateincidents@tamworth.gov.uk.  If you need any assistance with completing the form please dial 01827 709709 where an officer will be happy to help you.
