Report Hate

Firstly, well done for taking this step. Being a victim of hate is isolating, scary and overwhelming. You’re doing the right thing by looking to report the hate you’ve experienced. It takes a lot of bravery to get this far, and we’re proud that you’re here.

It’s a good idea to contact a hate crime support service before reporting your experience to the police, although it is not necessary, they can just help you through the process. There are links below on this page to services that can help you.

There is a range of ways to report hate crime, but if a hate crime that is in progress or someone is in immediate danger, call 999. If it’s not an emergency, call 101.
