Hate Crime safe reporting centres

Safe reporting centres are a safe neutral location within the community where you can report hate crime or hate incidents without having to contact the police directly. We recognise that some people might not feel comfortable or safe visiting a police station or have a disability or additional needs which means they may need support to report something that has happened.

Staff at these venues are trained to manage a wide variety of public enquiries, not just hate crime reporting, and are able to offer advice and signpost to different services if needed.

Anybody can use this facility regardless if you're a victim, witness, or just someone who is aware of information that needs to be reported.
