Any form of hate crime is never okay. If you know someone who has been affected by hate crime, support is available.
What can you do?
Talk - If someone you know has been affected, you can encourage them to seek support. Alternatively you make an anonymous disclosure which will allow us to investigate if there are multiple instances in one area.
Seek Support - There are a number of specialist organisations that provide specialist support, including counselling for those affected by hate crime. You could encourage your colleague or friend to reach out to such support. A list of some of these organisations can be found under the support article external support.
