Maun Valley Citizens Listening Campaign Key Terms A Listening Campaign is a focused effort to build community and identify concerns and priorities in a specific neighbourhood/workplace or organisation. Prejudice – an unfavourable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason. Discrimination - the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex Hate Crime - a crime motivated by racial, sexual, or other prejudice, typically one involving violence Last year after carrying out research the Maun Valley team recognised a need for a greater focus on discrimination and prejudice within our community. This now leads to our listening campaign.

This is an opportunity to have your say. Please complete the survey, it is anonymous so please be honest in your answering. REMEMBER IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN THE VICTIM OF, OR HAVE EVER WITNESSED, SOMETHING LIKE THIS YOU MUST REPORT IT STRAIGHT AWAY. The Maun Valley team will be working on this throughout the year and will update you on their progress.
