Hate Crime Signposting/Reporting Centres

Within Derbyshire there are a small number of third party reporting centres which will receive reports of hate incidents and crimes and provide an ongoing support service for victims and witnesses. Some local authorities and housing agencies also have systems in place to receive and deal with third party reports. Each centre will have its own particular method of onward reporting to police which will always be with the consent of the victim.

All Derbyshire County Council libraries and Derby City Council libraries are Hate Crime Signposting Centres and staff there are able to advise and facilitate victims or witnesses on how to report incidences of hate crime or hate incidents.

Other Reporting/Signposting Centre are listed here:

• Derby Homes (Reporting and Signposting Centre)

• Derbyshire LGBT+
• East Midlands Later Life Forum
