The launch of over 30 community-based Hate Crime Reporting Points was held on 16 September 2026 in Nuneaton as part of ongoing work to tackle hate crime in the county in a new initiative run by EQuIP, the Equality and Inclusion Partnership.
Junaid Hussain, Chief Executive of EQuIP, commented:
“Too many people who experience hate still do not feel confident or comfortable reporting what has happened to them. The Hate Reporting Points bring support closer to communities, providing trusted and accessible places where people can speak to someone, be listened to and receive appropriate support with reporting hate.
“This project, supported by Warwickshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, and other partners in the Warwickshire Hate Crime Partnership including Warwickshire Police and Warwickshire County, District and Borough Councils, is a strong example of partnership in action.
“By working with community, faith and voluntary organisations across Warwickshire, we are helping to remove barriers to reporting, improve our understanding of hate within our communities and send a clear message that hate has no place in Warwickshire
“We have worked with communities across the length and breadth of Warwickshire, and we are delighted that the first 30 reporting points have undertaken training and signed up to be champions in tackling hate.
“If any other communities would like to join us then please do get in touch. We must ensure that hate has no part in Warwickshire and make it easier for people to report, so that the relevant agencies can tackle this dreadful crime.”
