Tell MAMA, or Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks, is an independent and confidential support service to record incidents of Islamophobia in the UK. Between 2023 and 2024, there was a 43% increase in the number of reported hate crimes targeting Muslims. Some 10% of these incidents occurred in a place of education. To make matters worse, parents often feel that their concerns are ignored due to a lack of formal mechanisms for accountability. Maintaining a clear record of incidents is the first step towards building trust and fostering more collaborative partnerships between parents, schools and local authorities.
