Reporting a hate crime
In an emergency – where a hate crime is in progress or someone is in immediate danger – you should always call 999.
You can report a hate crime directly to the police by calling the non-emergency number 101.
Hate crimes in England, Wales and Northern Ireland can be reported to the police online through True Vision at report-it.org.uk.
People living in Scotland should use the Police Scotland online reporting form at: https://www.scotland.police.uk/secureforms/c3/
If you need any help reporting a crime you can contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau or call the Usdaw Helpline: 0800 030 80 30.
Who to contact
In addition, you can report hate crime to the following independent organisations who support those communities most at risk and offer an alternative way of reporting if you don’t want to report to the police, including:
- Stop Hate UK (all hate crime).
- Tell Mama (anti-Muslim hate crime).
- Community Security Trust (antisemitic hate crime).
- GALOP (anti-LGBTQ+ hate crime).
If the incident happens at work, talk to your Usdaw rep and your manager.
