The Community Security Trust has launched a system to help members of the community report antisemitic incidents direct from mobile phones.

CST Report is similar to an "app" for smart-phones, but can be used on any mobile which has internet access.

It allows users to register where and when an incident took place, the nature of it, a description of what happened, and their details.

Because CST Report is designed specifically for mobile use, it allows those who have seen an incident to upload video or pictures from the phone direct to CST. Financial support for the system was provided by the Home Office's Victims' Fund.
