So called ‘Hate Crimes’ are usually the result of people’s prejudice or hatred of:
- disability
- gender identity
- race, ethnicity or nationality
- religion or belief
- sexual orientation.
They include things like name calling and verbal abuse, bullying and harassment, spitting and physical attacks, damage to property, graffiti, and written notes, emails and text messages.
The Knowsley Partnership has developed a range of measures to deal with this type of incident and for supporting people who experience this form of abuse. Click here to go to the Speak Up Service web page
