Dear All
Here at Exeter we have a form for reporting racial incidents but it is 
rarely used and needs updating
Working with the Students Guild we are in the process of setting up an anti 
racism support group to work with students who are the recipients of racism 
- I wonder if other Universities have done this?
I would also be really grateful if someone could share the actual process 
of how they record incidents, what exactly happens to the information
We have a recently relaunched network of harassment advisors and updated 
policy on harassment/bullying and of course the advisors have been picking 
up a number of instances of racial harassment and we are trying to work out 
how they all fit together
Racism is a very real issue in the South West with the greater visibility 
and possible isolation of BME students and staff (alongside a sense in 
which 'it is not an issue here') and consequently particularly important 
that we have a very visible and robust  system/procedures

Thanks
Kate.
