IN THE NEWS

In recent weeks, the Sikh Help Line has been receiving an increasing number of calls from distressed youths as well as organisations that see our service as immensely essential to the community's wellbeing and wish to offer support for our efforts.

In a recent (ongoing) case, Sikh Help Line was approached to assist a Sikh youth who is having problems getting admitted into a school. The case has been reported widely in the local newspapers and has been brought to the attention of the authorities in an effort to find a resolution.

Wherever possible, we will try to provide updates on cases or progress made at Sikh Help Line as we expand and improve our services.

We would also like to take the opportunity for the overwhelming support and encouragement that we have been receiving from all corners of the world.

Best Wishes,

Sikh Helpline

"Racism also manifests itself in teachers failing to take racist bullying seriously, even after tragedies such as the suicide of schoolboy Vijay Singh. There are still a huge number of cases of racist bullying, which have been dealt with improperly. this includes a case where a Sikh secondary school pupil was attacked by a number of other pupils, leaving him with a broken arm. His assailants were left unpunished and continue to verbally and physically abuse him. To maintain order, he has been excluded from socialising at school and has received complaints from teachers for highlighting inadequacies in his treatment."
