Hate Crime

Community Gateway will not tolerate hate-motivated acts of violence and intimidation against tenants or colleagues. We are committed to working with you to create safe and inclusive neighbourhoods where everyone feels welcome.  
 

We take all reports of hate crime seriously and we will continue to support our tenants and the wider community to ensure our neighbourhoods are safe and inclusive places for all.

Community Gateway encourages anyone who is the victim of, or witness to hate crime to report it immediately. This is vital to ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice. If you are affected by any type of hate crime, or you have witnessed someone else being affected by it, you can make an initial complaint to us, whether or not you are a CGA tenant.

What is Hate Crime?

Hate crime is any criminal offence committed against a person or property that is motivated by someone’s prejudice or hatred towards their victim's:

  • Race or ethnicity
  • Religion or belief
  • Disability
  • Sexual orientation
  • Transgender identity 

A hate incident may not be a crime as defined by law, but the perpetrator's actions are motivated by prejudice and intended to cause offence or hurt.

Anyone can be the victim of hate crimes and incidents if they are targeted because of who they are, or who their friends and family are.

Examples of hate crime include:

  • Graffiti
  • Malicious communications
  • Verbal abuse
  • Leaflets, pamphlets and other written material
  • Damage or threats of damage to property
  • Harassment and threatening behaviour
  • Cyber bullying
  • Any act or omission calculated to interfere with someone's peace or comfort 
Hate Crime Reporting Centre

We are proud that Community Gateway are officially a third-party hate crime reporting centre.

This enables you to report any concerns or complaints for any type of hate crimes or hate incidents to us directly. We can offer support, advice and ways to report the incident without you needing to talk directly to the police. All our colleagues from the Tenancy Management team have been trained to help victims and witnesses to submit a report to the police.

You can find a list of other third party reporting centres here.
