Guidance

Gloucestershire Hate Crime Strategy

Hate crime is about people being intolerant of each other, but is goes far deeper than that. It's when people are targeted for who they are or what they believe - their sexual orientation, trans identity, their race or their religion or disability. View the full report of how hate crime is being tackled in Gloucestershire.

The Chief Constable and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gloucestershire said we must do more to stop hate crime. They asked for this plan to be written: Gloucestershire's Hate Crime Plan, 2016 to 2021.

Report it

A poster has been produced which features a QR code to enable quick and easy reporting of hate crime in schools, colleges, and other education settings in Gloucestershire. It can be used to report hate incidents affecting children and young people between reception age, and year 13.
