What Reporthate.scot is, and what it isn't.

- A place to report incidents anonymously or by name.
- A platform that connects people with relevant support organisations.
- A way to help build a better understanding of hate across Scotland through anonymised insights.
What Reporthate.scot is not

- We are not part of the Scottish Government.
- We do not investigate incidents.
- We do not automatically share your report with Police Scotland.
- We are not a replacement for reporting a crime to the police.
What happens to my report?
Your report is stored securely and reviewed by the Reporthate.scot team.
Where appropriate, anonymised information contributes to insights that help organisations better understand hate across Scotland.
If you choose to provide your contact details, they are stored securely and separately from any anonymised insights.
We will only consider sharing information with Police Scotland if a report indicates a serious or immediate risk, such as a credible threat to life, serious harm, or another significant safeguarding concern.
If you wish Police Scotland to investigate an incident, you should report it directly to them.
We are not a replacement for the police.
If you have been the victim of a crime, please contact Police Scotland. This platform provides an additional route for recording hate-related experiences that may not reach the threshold for police action, or where people prefer not to involve the police.
