👋 Meet ReportHate.scot - a new independent platform where people across Scotland can record hate-related incidents, access support and help build a clearer picture of what communities are experiencing.

You can report anonymously or by name, and the platform will connect you with relevant support organisations - as well as building a better understanding of hate across Scotland through anonymised insights.

ℹ But remember, ReportHate.scot is not Police Scotland and is not a replacement for reporting a crime. If you believe a crime may have taken place, please report it directly to Police Scotland. In an emergency call 999; for non-emergencies call 101.
