Information on Hate Crime

What is hate crime?  

A Hate Crime is, any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice, based on a person's:

  • Disability or perceived disability
  • Race or perceived race
  • Religion or perceived religion
  • Sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation
  • Transgender identity or perceived transgender identity.

Any crime can be prosecuted as a hate crime if the offender has either:

  • Demonstrated hostility based on race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity
    Or
  • Been motivated by hostility based on race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity

There is no legal definition of hostility so we use the everyday understanding of the word which includes ill-will, spite, contempt, prejudice, unfriendliness, antagonism, resentment and dislike.

Hate Crimes may involve physical assault or damage to property

Hate Incidents may involve bullying, harassment, verbal abuse or insults, offensive graffiti or letters /text messages/ emails/ comments over social media.

Cyber Security training from Nottinghamshire PoliceAfter the success of previous events, the ESHAWH have worked with colleagues from Nottinghamshire Police to organise future Cyber Security training sessions – these sessions have been organised to provide people with a variety of dates/times over the next few months. These sessions have been adapted to now be suitable for all parents/carers/families and school staff, as well as anyone who works with children who are using devices.

The training sessions are free to attend and will take place online via Microsoft Teams – further information and registration links for the events are available below. It would be great to have as many attendees as possible – please do share the registration links with your colleagues and communities including parent/carers that you work with. Thank you.

Keep an eye out in future newsletters for further information about other ‘online safety’ events taking place later in the year – these will include ‘Online Safety Live’ and sessions about Gaming, Gambling and E-Sports.

Aims:

The aim of this private session will be to educate parents/carers and anyone working with children when it comes to basic cyber security - this includes: strong passwords, 2-step verification, parental controls, top tips for managing children's devices and keeping online accounts secure and private.

Objectives:

To give parents, carers and school staff some context around current threats that parents, carers and schools are experiencing in today's cyber landscape and increase protection against cyber incidents.
