The definition of a racist incident is taken from the MacPherson report following the murder of Stephen Lawrence: ‘Any Incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or by any other person’ . Similar definitions are used in relation to other hate incidents related to for example sexual orientation, disability and faith.

Any such incident that takes place has to be investigated, whether or not the investigator feels the incident will be proved to be racist or not.

All such incidents should be recorded, logging date, details of the incident, victim, perpetrator, repartee, summary of investigation and actions following the investigation. Actions can include discussions with parents /carers.
