Personal Safety

If you are a victim:

Make as much noise as you can
As soon as you can, go somewhere you know is safe
Get help immediately
In an emergency dial 999
If you have the confidence, tell the police why you think you were attacked
If you have been attacked, don't shower or change your clothes, it may destroy evidence
If you have had your keys taken, change the locks
Don't drink alcohol, you need to give a clear account of what happened
Use the reporting systems to report the incident if you don't have the confidence to tell the police
Use a third party reporting centre or use the self-reporting form on this website or in the packs.

If you are a witness

In an emergency dial 999
Stay alert and safe
Don't physically intervene, you could get hurt
As soon as you can, write down everything that you can remember about the incident
Report the incident either to a local support agency or the police directly.

Bullying

Schools and colleges should have policies/procedures that protect you from discrimination and bullying
Don't suffer in silence. If you can't get your school or college to listen to you, contact one of the helplines or one of the LGB youth groups across Wales who can offer you advice and support. You're not alone.
Tell someone. Not everyone who is lesbian, gay or bisexual will experience bullying in school, college or the workplace. If it does happen, it is important you tell someone.
If you can't tell a teacher, family or friend, you can tell someone by using a self-reporting form. Every report is taken seriously and could help to stop you and others suffering hate crime.
Please tell someone if you are being bullied.
