Tackling Hate Crime

 

stop hate crime pic

Hate Crime is on the increase in Hammersmith & Fulham. The Hate Crime West London Support Service is there to support victims of hate crime report it and get support to cope with its impact. Between 2014 and 2015 the following increases in hate crime were reported to the Police in Hammersmith & Fulham:

  • Islamophobic hate crime up from 2 crimes to 6 crimes
  • Homophobic hate crime up from 2 crime to 3 crimes
  • Racist and religious hate crime up from 25 to 27 crimes

Not all hate crime is reported so these figures are not the full picture and the service aims to support people to report hate crime.

HFVC is hosting a drop-in information session in partnership with MOPAC and Hate Crime West London. This session aims to give voluntary sector organisations an overview of what hate crime is, how to identify it and how to refer clients who are victim to it. The sessions will be led by anti-hate crime experts Farah Ul-Haque and Irfan Arif of Ealing Equality Council. The event will take place:

Friday 11th March 2016 at 10am to 11:30am
at White City Community Centre, India Way, London W12 7QT

There is no need to book. Please just turn up.

If you are unable to attend but would like to know more, please see the leaflet here. If you are aware of clients experiencing hate crime please make contact with the service who will be happy to discuss how they can help.

For event information, please contact enquiries@hfvc.org.uk .
For hate crime support, please phone 0800 246 1207, email contact@hatecrimeWL.org.uk, website www.hatecrimeWL.org.uk, or Twitter @HateCrimeWL. In an emergency call 999.

Exchanging Places Events

We also set up ‘Exchanging Places’ events to raise awareness of cycle safety.

These events allow people to sit in the driver’s seat of a HGV or bus to get a better understanding of what the driver can and can’t see, especially in regards to cyclists on the nearside and directly in front of the vehicle.

Exchanging Places video

A YouTube video has been launched, which features an experienced lorry driver and a regular cyclist who exchange places and discuss their thoughts. It also offers guidance and clearly demonstrates correct cycling, driving and pedestrian behaviour to ensure safer journeys and avoid collisions.

To watch the video, see ‘Related Links’ in the right hand navigation.

Events

Come along to any of the exchanging places events below. Bike marking will also be offered at the following events:
