Recent events in England and Northern Ireland will have caused alarm and distress to many people here in Edinburgh.
At this difficult time, we stand alongside groups and organisations across Edinburgh in a shared commitment to support all communities in our multicultural City. It is more important than ever that we work together to promote diversity and inclusivity in Edinburgh (and Scotland).
Here is a selection of responses to the situation:
- Police Scotland is monitoring the situation
- City of Edinburgh Council Statement from Cammy Day
- Help and support for people in Edinburgh (City of Edinburgh Council)
- An Official Statement on behalf of the Edinburgh Interfaith Association supported by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh Robert Aldridge, City of Edinburgh Council Leader Cammy Day & Edinburgh faith communities’ representatives
- Together With Refugees
- The Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner has withdrawn the Adviser Finder and Adviser Register from their website – contact [email protected]
- Hope Not Hate has developed a range of resources to support people to stay safe – register to receive a copy
