That Cabinet approves the contents and publication of Hammersmith & Fulham’s Hate Crime Strategy 2024 – 2028.

Councillor Rebecca Harvey, Cabinet Member for Social Inclusion and  Community Safety, introduced the report. This strategy’s four main objectives were to prevent hate crime and increase community cohesion, increase trust to encourage reporting of hate crimes, provide effective support to those affected it and to take coordinated action against perpetrators. The rise in Antisemitic and Islamophobic offences in London since the start of the conflict in the Middle East, highlighted the need for greater community cohesion and support for victims and witnesses of hate crime.

AGREED UNANIMOUSLY BY THE CABINET MEMBERS:

That Cabinet approves the contents and publication of Hammersmith & Fulham’s Hate Crime Strategy 2024 – 2028.
