Help Stop Hate Crime
Bradford Council is helping to raise awareness of Hate Crime so more victims are supported and greater numbers of offenders are brought to justice.
Crimes become Hate Crimes when victims believe they have been targeted because of their race, religion or belief, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity.
There is no evidence to suggest Hate Crime is worse in Bradford than other parts of the UK.
It is widely believed that the majority of Hate Crimes are not reported so we have helped Bradford Hate Crime Alliance set up over 30 independent Hate Crime Reporting Centres with specially trained staff and funded Stop Hate UK to provide a 24 hour confidential and independent helpline for victims and witnesses.
West Yorkshire Police can help through their non-emergency telephone number 101; however the public are advised to always call 999 in an emergency.
To report a Hate Crime and get support 24-hours a day, Hate Crime victims and witnesses can:
- Phone: 0800 138 1635
- Text Relay Service: 18001 0800 138 1625 (for people who are deaf or have hearing or speech impairments)
- Text: 07717 989 025 (currently available 8am-10pm)
- Email: talk@stophateuk.org
