How to report

Every report builds a picture

By reporting incidents of sexual harassment, your information could help to bring an offender to justice and support us in making sure you, and your fellow rail users, are kept safe. Each report received provides valuable information which can be used to build a picture of an offender. People who behave in this way often do so repeatedly, so reports can allow BTP to notice patterns in offending behaviour and take action. Sexual harassment is, sadly, too common an experience for many, but research tells us that only 4% of people report these behaviours on the railway to police. Reporting data is one of the things BTP use to inform their activity, including where and when they deploy their officers across the network. The more they know about when and where sexual harassment is happening, the better equipped they are to prevent and respond to it.
