We are really pleased that despite much publicity, some true and a great deal fake, there were no ugly scenes across our Boroughs on Tuesday evening. Your West London Chambers of Commerce has close communication with all Councils, Police, businesses and community groups in the boroughs of Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham and Hounslow, and we are well placed to be a reliable source of accurate information.
However, in light of recent protests please find advice from the Police, to businesses of all sizes and sectors: Crime_Prev_Business_Advice-General-Aug-24.pdf (ukhospitality.org.uk)
The advice remains – “check your risk assessments and if not recently updated, update them. If you have lockdown procedures review these and if needed rehearse”.
Any issues/incidents call the police via 999 as there are additional, dedicated resources assigned to addressing these issues at this time.
For non-emergency situations, dial 101 to receive guidance and support from your community safety team.
Any hate crime witnessed or experienced should be reported, either directly to the police or via Tell MAMA on 0800 456 1226
For anti-Muslim hate crime, contact Tell MAMA on 0800 456 1226 or via www.tellmamauk.org
