Hate crime
Help and support
Community Safety Partners have produced an e-learning package, which aims to increase both knowledge of Hate Crime and your understanding of how to respond to it. The training will boost your confidence and help you provide the best possible support for people who may be vulnerable.
EQuIP is a charity promoting equality and inclusion across Warwickshire. Part of the Equality and Inclusion Partnership, Equip is working across Warwickshire to eliminate discrimination in all its forms. EQuIP is delivering Hate Crime awareness sessions to community groups and professionals. The face-to-face sessions aim to raise awareness of hate crime, the forms it can take, bust any myths surrounding hate crime, and signpost to reporting mechanisms and support available to those affected.
