Recommendation 81: Training for investigating racism complaints
From Report of the Zahid Mubarek inquiry (Volumes I and II), published 29 June 2006.
Recommendation
The training of any officer responsible for investigating complaints of racism should stress that corroborative evidence of a complaint, though desirable, is not essential. Officers should be reminded of the need to guard against falling into the trap of seeing as decisive the existence of a possible racially neutral reason for treatment which would otherwise be discriminatory.
