Rugby Town East

Hate Crime Awareness has been identified as our Q3 priority following an increase in community concerns relating to protected characteristics. With Hate Crime Awareness Week taking place during this period, it is an ideal opportunity to focus on education, engagement, and prevention.

We will increase awareness through school visits and community events, address hate-related incidents, provide reassurance visits to those affected, and work closely with partner agencies to tackle hate crime, encourage reporting, and help keep our communities safe and inclusive.
