Sunderland ARCH is a partnership of organisations working together to combat racist incidents throughout Sunderland.  A web based system is used to report and record racist incidents, meaning that any of the partner organisations below can take details of incidents:

• Sunderland City Council
• City of Sunderland College
• University of Sunderland
• Sunderland Bangladeshi Community Centre
• Victim Support
• Home Group
• North of England Refugee Service
• Gentoo Sunderland
• Northumbria Police
• City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust
• Safe Partnership Limited
• Young Asian Voices
• UNITE Mediation
• Back on the Map

Once an incident is reported to ARCH, victims of racist incidents can be offered the most appropriate support, and where possible, action can be taken against perpetrators.  The ARCH system is confidential and victims or witnesses can also choose to remain anonymous.

Racism of any form is unacceptable.  Nobody should suffer because of who they are and nobody should put up with it.  If you or someone you know has been a victim of, or has witnessed a racist incident, please click here to find out how to report it.
