This doesn’t mean that these articles won’t or shouldn’t be read by everyone - but simply that we think they will be of strong interest to readers from these communities. That’s why we are now using the tags ‘black communities’, ‘Asian communities’ or ‘Muslim communities’ on some of our stories.
There are a wealth of tags which range from crime to politics, Coventry City to Bake Off, local landmarks to Buckingham Palace.ĬoventryLive wants to cover stories that matter for everyone who lives in Coventry and Warwickshire - providing interesting and entertaining stories for all our area’s different communities, not just about them. We put subject tags on our stories to give readers an impression of what the story they are about to read will be about and who it might be of interest to.Ī tag also helps our journalists understand what subjects people enjoy reading the most.
On one occasion, a pupil from a Dawat e Islami centre outside of Leicester was being blackmailed to meet a male acquaintance.Why is the story tagged ‘black communities’, ‘Asian communities’ or ‘Muslim communities’? He told LeicestershireLive: "Historically mosques have been in the press for a number of different safeguarding failures leading to long-term mental health problems with the victims."Īccording to Dr Nasim's personal research that is not directly linked to the St Matthews mosque, he found that there was a "reluctancy to engage in safeguarding education" especially from parents who he thought would be "more receptive to receiving the message from a mosque perhaps due to respect given to the religious scholars".ĭr Nasim also said that in the past he had received phone calls and messages from concerned teachers from mosques in other cities about bullying.
In an attempt to highlight issues that young children might be facing within or outside of the mosque, Dawat e Islami on the Leicester estate, which is also a registered charity, has implemented guidelines, policies and an anti-bullying week.ĭr Zeerak Nasim who was previously a psychiatrist, is the safeguarding, health and safety lead for Dawat e Islami covering 30 evening madrasahs in the UK, which are educational institutions usually affiliated with mosques. A mosque in St Matthews in Leicester is working to change perceptions and eradicate bullying in the UK.
