DVD to tackle racism at work
8:45am Thursday 8th May 2008 in News
A DVD is being launched to help businesses and organisations in Southampton tackle racism in the workplace.
The ten-minute film was made in the city and features people from the community talking about how they have dealt with racist abuse and also looks at what makes a racist incident.
As well as highlighting the issues it is hoping to provide advice on how to deal with different examples of racism in a variety of situations.
Solent University is hosting the launch of the DVD, which is supported by the city council, Southampton Support Volunteer Project and Comic Relief, today.
Local police officers and other agencies are also due to speak to people about the DVD launch.
The DVD called A Racist Incident What Do I Do Now? is being promoted by non-profit organisation Positive Message Ltd.
Copies of the DVD can be made available to local organisations and individuals on request from Positive Message Limited.
