Keeping a written record is important – when you are facing behaviour that is causing alarm or distress, especially if it is harassment (continuous behaviour over a period of time), you might forget exactly how everything occurred on the day.

How I do to report a hate crime?

Having a written record means you always have the facts as they happened to you. Try to include dates and times and as much detail as possible. You should include:

What happened?
What was said?
Who was involved? (If you don’t know, you can describe their appearance)
Where did it happen?
Were there any other witnesses?
What was the impact on you? How did this situation make you feel?
Any reporting details given to you – for example, the reference number for the incident or date you reported it to the police.

What Is a Hate Crime?

An LGBT+ hate crime is any crime that appears to be motivated by prejudice toward someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity: any crime that is committed because of homophobia, biphobia or transphobia.
