Do you want to refer someone to On Your Side?
If you work for an organisation and come across service users identifying as East and Southeast Asian who have experienced racism or any form of hate in the UK, you can fill in this form and refer them to On Your Side to receive ongoing community-based support including emotional and mental health support, employment advice, signposting to legal aid or legal assistance, and more.
On Your Side operates as a free, UK-wide support and reporting service tailored to the needs of ESEA individuals. Their services extend to addressing discrimination/hate based on various factors including gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and political affiliation. We cater to individuals of all ages and ensure accessibility by providing support in a wide range of ESEA languages such as Japanese, Tagalog, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Waray, and Bisaya. Recognizing the importance of overcoming language barriers, we also collaborate with trusted interpreters when necessary.
Their support doesn’t end with reporting incidents; we offer ongoing community-based assistance facilitated by casework advocates. These advocates are trained in trauma-informed approaches and cultural competency to ensure that every service user feels respected and supported. Moreover, a significant portion of their caseworkers come from ESEA backgrounds, further enhancing their ability to understand and address the needs of victims.
Their comprehensive assistance covers emotional and mental health support, access to counseling, police reporting, domestic violence support, legal assistance, employment advice, and more. We believe that no incident is too small to seek assistance for, and we are committed to providing help in any way we can.
