Waterford Integration Services has been liasing with Community Work Ireland and the Hope and Courage Collective around a number of hate speech, online and physical attacks with migrants in Waterford City & County.
We report incidents to Gardai and the Hope & Courage Collective so they can build a picture of hate speech and racism in Ireland. This includes forwarding articles online and printed media (posters etc.).
We also promote and support individual complaints through the INAR iReport system.
As Lead Agency in the Southeast we are coordinating training for Centre staff and frontline service providers. Please complete the form to register your participation in the Waterford training opportunity.
In the meantime please find attached a toolkit prepared by CWI and HC&C to support you in your daily efforts. If we are all following the same principles of non-engagement with disruptors we should make progress to protect the most vulnerable in our community.
