What is National Hate Crime awareness week?
National Hate Crime Awareness Week #NationalHCAW takes place from the 9th-17th October. It is “a national week of action across the UK which aims to encourage the authorities, key partners and communities affected by hate crime to work together to tackle local hate crime issues.”
Join us at this workshop to raise awareness of hate crime, learn how to report it and where to access support.
Disability Access
We want to include everyone, no matter what their access needs. If you have any access needs for online meetings, viewing PowerPoint, or taking part in group discussions, please let us know as soon as possible. This is in confidence and so we can talk to you in advance of the event about how we can adapt things to meet your needs.
