Racial Incidents Policy
Racial attacks, harassment, or abuse can be particularly stressful and frightening for members of communities in Perth and Kinross.
The MacPherson Report of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry in London, published in 1999, placed certain responsibilities on the Police in criminal investigations. The Report did not directly relate to Local Authorities but it stated that there should be close co-operation between Police Services, Local Authorities and other agencies to ensure all information about racist incidents and crimes is shared and is readily available.
It was necessary therefore for Perth and Kinross Council to establish a racial incident recording policy, separate from the procedure for recording complaints.
