Hate Crime Awareness week 2022 ran from Sunday 9th to Sunday 16th October. On Thursday 13th October we delivered hate crime training at the Fleur-de-Lys community centre. Ffion, the trainer, talked about:
- Examples of hate crime
- Reasons for hate crime
- Who can carry out hate crime
- Where hate crime can happen
- How to spot hate crime
- Who you can report it to
- How to keep safe at home and in public
- How to keep safe when using your phone or the internet
We also watched some videos produced by Newport People First, showing four people with learning disabilities talking about their experience of hate crime. Ffion ended the session by handing out easy-read leaflets co-produced by Caerphilly People First, which cover many of the topics included in her presentation, and also include useful telephone numbers and website addresses.
