Good practice in running a scheme<br />
A comprehensive scheme should consist of the following features:<br />
� Reporting/recording: a mechanism for<br />
sex workers to report crimes against<br />
them to projects, <strong>and</strong> for projects to<br />
record this information accurately <strong>and</strong><br />
systematically.<br />
REPORTING<br />
To Police<br />
To Support Projects<br />
Crimestoppers Remote Reporting<br />
Ongoing Support<br />
Emotional <strong>and</strong> Practical Support<br />
Court Proceedings<br />
SUPPORTING SEX WORKERS<br />
Pre-court Support<br />
� Ongoing<br />
support for<br />
sex workers:<br />
whether they choose<br />
to formally report to the<br />
police or not. This can be practical <strong>and</strong><br />
emotional. Some projects may provide<br />
this in-house, others may refer to<br />
appropriate services such as health.<br />

� Circulating alerts: a mechanism for<br />
ensuring that the information collected<br />
is circulated to all sex workers to alert<br />
them to dangerous individuals. For<br />
example, some projects distribute alert<br />
sheets to sex workers or<br />
display information on<br />
notice boards at<br />
drop-ins <strong>and</strong><br />
clinics.<br />

for sharing appropriate information with<br />
the police.<br />
