Over the summer, Jane Healy (Principle Academic in Criminology at Bournemouth University) led an inter-disciplinary research team at Bournemouth University and Royal Holloway which has conducted a survey to evaluate approaches to safeguarding adults who experience hate crime and discriminatory abuse.
Responses were received from across the UK, identifying challenges and providing examples of good practice. We are keen to share these findings as widely as possible.
The team are hosting a webinar where they will outline the context of hate crime and discriminatory abuse and discuss the anonymised findings and next steps, in a free online event on Tuesday 22 October 2024, from 12pm to 13:30pm.

Please forward to anyone who might be interested in learning more about hate crime and discriminatory abuse, and the research findings.
We look forward to seeing you all at the online event.
