Stop and Tell - Hate Incidents reporting campaign
Posted on 28/01/2010
Community Services
From the 25 to 29 January 2010, the Stop and Tell campaign will encourage people to report hate incidents and tell victims how and where they can do so.
A hate incident can be physical, verbal or written abuse. Incidents take many forms, where you or someone else has been targeted because they or you are seen as being different. Anyone can be a victim of hate because of their age, disability, gender, race, religion, belief or sexual orientation.
Hate incidents can be reported by a victim, witness or third party.
The County Council and its District partners will be running activities and events throughout the week. A number of key activities will be running across the county. These include:
- Hinckley library will be hosting information sessions on Tuesday 26 January from 10.00am to 12.00noon for the public, to inform people how and where to report a hate incident
- Publicising and promoting the Stop and Tell Video – which highlights a victim perspective. The video can be accessed via the County Council YouTube link and by visiting: www.leics.gov.uk/reporthate this video will also been shown at reception areas across all local authorities in the county
- Exhibitions are being hosted across the County and Districts. Display material will include information in easy read format, publicity material about the Hate Incident Monitoring Project (HIMP), including myth busting on hate crime affecting the travelling and Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender community
- Promoting the Stop and Tell campaign easy read leaflet
- Promote the new support service available for hate incident cases within the Leicestershire County Council area, with Victim Support providing the support and advocacy. This service can be accessed by calling 0116 305 8263.
Each District Council will be running their own individual programme of activities involving local agencies within their area and offering information and advice throughout the week. Actions will centre on raising awareness for local people who live, work and visit the area, of where and how they can report a hate incident.
Byron Rhodes, Deputy Leader, Leicestershire County Council said:
”Hate crime is a serious issue which can have a detrimental impact on people’s lives, their families’ lives and the community at large. I welcome this campaign and its partnership approach across the county, bringing together key agencies. It will provide opportunities through different activities run at County and District level with local partners to encourage people to stop and report hate incidents.”
You can report a hate incident online at www.leices.gov.uk/reporthate or at centres across the county (see the list of centres in the documents to download section towards the bottom of the report hate page) details are on the website), including any district or borough council, or call 0116 305 8263 for more details.
