Hate and harassment

Hate can be any action motivated by prejudice or hostility (or perceived to be so) against a person’s race, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or disability.

Hate incidents can be criminal or non-criminal, and can be in the forms of comments, posts, images or videos on social media.

We will report any posts or comments on or directed at our social media accounts which are hateful or harassing as per the site’s reporting procedure, and remove and/or block the post or user. We may also screenshot any offensive posts and send them to the police for investigation.
