Hate Crime Awareness
Summary
Hate crime devastates lives, causing fear and distrust in communities, but public understanding remains low and incidents are significantly underreported. This comprehensive course draws on the findings from Race Equality First's groundbreaking All Wales Hate Crime Research Project. The content has been designed to raise your awareness about hate crime and equip you with the confidence and skills to respond to reports.

- Understand the impact of hate crime on victims and reasons for underreporting;
- Know what to do when people report hate incidents and crimes;
