Policy Statements
& Aims
The partnership has adopted the definition of a racist incident
contained within the Macpherson Report.
"A racist incident is any incident that is perceived to
be racist by the victim or any other person"
This definition will be reflected in all our documentation and
publications.
Vision
To provide a strong multi-agency partnership, which engages with
local communities and is responsive to their needs.
Mission
To eliminate racist attacks and harassment, to respect diversity
and promote good relations between people of all racial groups.
Statements of Purpose
This strategy is underpinned by the following;
- Each partner will encourage an environment that recognises and
respects diversity, challenges discrimination and inappropriate
behaviour and language, thereby increasing the confidence of the
victim or any other person to report a racist incident.
- Each agency will provide an effective and accessible system
to record, investigate and monitor accurately all incidents reported,
and the opportunity for remote reporting.
- Each agency will share relevant information to assist the monitoring
process through an agreed protocol, whilst ensuring confidentiality.
- Each agency will actively participate in the support of a victim
through an inter-agency response to racist attacks and harassment
reported.
- Each agency will ensure a process exists to identify and adapt
staff training to reflect the ethnic and cultural needs of a community.
- Each agency will raise awareness and provide training for existing
and new staff on RAHMAS procedures.
- The RAHMAS group will market and publish appropriate information
in respect of race and diversity issues in language and formats
that reflect the community needs. This information will be made
widely available.
- The partnership will remain responsive to matters both nationally
and locally that may impact on the effectiveness of RAHMAS.
- Each agency will actively participate in an annual review on
the effectiveness of RAHMAS. This will include publication of
an annual report.
