Sexual harassment refers to harassment suffered by a person because of their gender or sexuality or where the harasser is a person that the victim has no association with.
Harassment on the grounds of sexuality can be directed at people known or perceived to be lesbians, gay men, bi-sexual, or trans-gender.
Where a person suffers harassment, including violence or the threat of violence from a person associated with them (for example a spouse, ex-partner or relative) this is dealt with under the Council’s Domestic Violence Policy.
You can report incidents of domestic violence in the same way as reporting anti-social behaviour. We will adopt a sensitive and believing approach to reports and incidents of domestic violence, and treat them seriously, promptly and compassionately.
