Racial Awareness Service

Remember, racial harassment is a crime - don't tolerate it.

The Racial Awareness Service is located at the Navigators Resource Centre in the centre of Portsmouth.

The team consists of the Racial Awareness Service Manager, two Racial Awareness Caseworkers, a Youth Development Worker and an Administrative Assistant, who are dedicated to help you.

How we can help

We recognise that racial harassment has a negative impact on individuals, their families, friends and the whole community.We deal with the personal and practical problems created by racial incidents. If you are experiencing racism at work, home or in any other way, please contact us for advice or help. If necessary, an interpreter can be made available to you.

The Safer Portsmouth Partneship has identified the need to combat racial harassment as one of the city's priorities and we can:

• listen to your problems
• record the incident(s)

• formulate an action plan
• collect evidence
• negotiate on your behalf
• refer and signpost
• help you with letter writing
• liaise with other agencies
• offer home and personal safety advice
• offer advice and assitance for rehousing

We will not take any action without asking you first and getting your consent.
