Tackling hate crime against LGBT people

Professor Monro contributed to a large project recently completed by the LGBT Consortium (funded by the Equality and Human Rights Commission) on behalf of Bi UK. This has led to the production of a range of resources aimed at helping individuals affected by hate crime, and to support agencies tackling hate crime. These have been published in advance of National Hate Crime Awareness Week that takes place in October every year. The 17 resources, and 5 videos, offer guidance and practical help on a wide range of subjects, including:

Emergency Accommodation
Financial assistance schemes
Practical help keeping a record of incidents
Guidance for LGBT parents on talking to their children about bullying
Tackling Biphobia and Transphobia

The full set of the 17 resources, and 5 videos, can be found on the LGBT Hate Crime Unit’s Public Resources pages or on the National Hate Crime Partnership website www.lgbthatecrime.org.uk. The leaflet on Tackling Biphobia: A Guide for Safety Services is available to download here.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission also published a new report into the cause of hate crime which Professor Monro and Kris Christmann contributed to via consultancy (reviewing). Professor Monro represents Bi UK [insert link http://www.biuk.org/] on the National Hate Crime Partnership.
