Reporting Hate Crime

No one who is a victim of a hate crime should have to suffer alone. Support for victims can be accessed regardless of when the crime or incident took place and whether it has been reported to the police or not. Key to combatting hate crime is ensuring that whenever and wherever it occurs, it is reported. Hate crime can often go unreported, which makes tackling it more difficult. Support for victims and access to reporting services can be done through our partners and the statutory organisations below.

Greater Manchester Police

Emergency: In an emergency always phone 999

Non-emergency: Phone 101, visit www.GMP.police.uk to use the live chat function to report a hate crime or visit a police station to report in person.

Report anonymously

True Vision Visit www.report-it.org.uk to anonymously report a hate crime. True Vision is a reporting platform set up by the National Police Chiefs’ Council which allows you to remain anonymous if you choose to and will pass your report on to your local police force.
Crimestoppers: Visit www.crime stoppers-uk.org or phone 0800 555 111 to anonymously report a hate crime to the independent UK charity Crimestoppers who will pass your report on to your local police force.

Third-party reporting centres and ambassadors
There are many third-party reporting mechanisms such as centres or ambassadors in Greater Manchester which can be accessed to report hate crime and hate incidents. Some centres also offer support for victims. Information on third-party reporting centres and ambassadors can be found from your local authority.
