Pauline Shepherd, chief of Independent Health and Care Providers, condemned the weekend racist attacks on care workers in Derry’s Waterside and called for urgent protection of international healthcare staff.
Three individuals were targeted in incidents on Sunday night, and police are investigating the cases as racially‑motivated hate crimes.
She warned that care workers, many of whom are international colleagues, must be able to work and live without fear of violence or intimidation, urging political leaders, employers and the community to unite against racism and report any information to police.
