What this training resource is:
This training resource is an interactive event training pack which brings to life a mock hate crime trial that highlights the challenges different organisations face when prosecuting a hate crime.
Benefits of this pack:
This pack aims to improve the understanding, knowledge, and awareness of the roles of the CPS, police forces and third-party reporting services whilst developing skills in recognising, responding, preventing and investigating hate crimes. Particularly, raising awareness of the most underreported strands of hate crime.
Why this resource pack was created:
This pack was created to raise awareness of the different strands of hate crime, how it can be reported and how forces can support victims. To mark National Hate Crime Awareness Week (HCAW) 2023, Hertfordshire County Community Safety Unit (CCSU) worked in partnership with the University of Hertfordshire, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), and True Vision- the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC), to bring this training pack to life. The Hertfordshire CCSU is the joint unit for Hertfordshire County Council and the Hertfordshire police.
Who this pack is for:
This resource package is predominantly for use; in police forces, with partner agencies, and third-party reporting sites, and any further relevant organisations. This resource pack can be amended to suit the students’ needs, and opportunities are made throughout the pack where sections can be tailored accordingly. Suggestions are made throughout, with opportunities to make the training shorter or longer with further research opportunities also available.
