National Hate Crime Awareness Week (NHAW) is a crucial initiative aimed at raising awareness about hate crime

Hate crime is any criminal act motivated by prejudice or hatred towards a person’s race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or transgender identity. It can take many forms, including verbal abuse, physical violence, threats, and damage to property.

At One Vision Housing we do not tolerate hate crime and support our customers to combat any issues they may be facing in their own home or community.

NHAW run an annual campaign promoting H.O.P.E.

• Hate crime awareness – running awareness events to increase public knowledge.
• Operational responses to hate crime – encouraging people to think about how they would respond if hate crime happened to someone they know.
• Preventing hate crime where possible.
• Engaging communities to report hate crime and work together.

Reporting Hate Crime

We urge all victims of hate crime to seek help immediately. You can do this by: calling us in confidence if you are affected by hate crime on 0300 365 1111 or an emergency service 999 for immediate support if you feel you are in danger.

If you have already contacted a police or partner agency, you can request for them to call us on your behalf. We will ensure all reports are responded to within one working day.

National Hate Crime Awareness Week is an opportunity for everyone to play a role in creating a more inclusive and tolerant society. By raising awareness, supporting victims, and taking action, we can help to eradicate hate crime and build stronger communities.
