Applications Open: Hate Crime Capacity Building Project

I am sharing the news of a fully funded capacity building opportunity for organisations who would like to develop new, or strengthen existing, hate crime victim support work.

We are looking for organisations who work with community members affected by hate crime to join a new Mayor of London commissioned project providing expert training and support for participating organisations along with £4,000-£7,000 in financial support

Following a consultation to understand where this support could be most impactful, we are particularly interested in working with organisations supporting Migrants and Refugees, Disabled people, Black African and Afro-Caribbean people, Gypsy, Roma and Travelers (GRT), East and Southeast Asian people, Latin American and Latinx people and LGBTQ+ people.

Over the course of a year our expert team will support each organisation over 9 months through individually tailored support programmes to:           

  1. Increase their awareness and understanding of hate crime among community members who they work with
  2. Feel confident to provide an initial, basic level of victim support to members of their community who report being targeted by hate crime
  3. Build new relationships with stakeholders in police, local and regional authorities, civil society and elsewhere focussed on hate crime victim support and/or prevention
  4. Build sustainability of hate crime victim support and / or hate crime prevention work through developing grant proposals and other fundraising strategies

This support will be tailored to the needs of each organisation but will consist in part of several trainings (such as on hate crime legislation and reporting, victim support, advocacy, and outreach) to support the achievement of the above goals.

Interested parties can find information about the project and the recruitment process at this link.

The application form is online and the deadline for applications is 5pm on Wednesday 25th October 2023, after which suitable applicants will be contacted by our team to arrange interviews.

Transitional Safeguarding Online Training: 20.11.23, 09:30-13:00

Attend Westminster Insight’s Transitional Safeguarding Online Training for the latest guidance and practical insights to improve outcomes for young people at risk as they enter adulthood.

Expert trainer, Dez Holmes, will walk you through evidence-based approaches and the six principles of Transitional Safeguarding.

Understand key developmental stages and identify some of the adverse situations that adolescents can experience going through the care system. Learn how you can adopt more flexible and responsive strategies to protect vulnerable young people and reduce the risks of harm and exploitation.

Multi-agency working is crucial to ensure success. Hear from collaborative partnerships who are successfully bridging the gaps between children and adults’ safeguarding services, with insights from guest speakers.

Join interactive exercises and scenario-based discussions. Raise your challenges and get feedback from the trainer and peers. You will develop an action plan to consolidate your ideas and deliver change in your organisation.
