What the petition asks

We believe it should be a statutory duty for councils to prepare local hate crime action plans in partnership with the police, key partners and communities affected by hate crime to tackle hate crime in their areas. Sadly too many councils think tackling hate crime is no longer part of their remit.

2017 Freedom of Info - 384/402 councils 95.5% replied; 236 include hate crime in their community safety plans, 77 have separate plans, 200 have a designated hate crime lead/team, 54 have designated hate crime officers, 310 facilitate hate crime reporting, 235 have designated hate crime pages on their websites, 129 produce hate crime resources, 52 provide direct hate crime advocacy services, 229 refer to external hate crime advocacy services, 195 facilitate hate crime forums. #NoPlaceForHate UK
