New housing hate crime policy

The council has introduced a new policy to tackle hate crime in its housing services, putting victims first and taking a zero-tolerance approach. Residents can report incidents in a range of ways, with support including risk assessments, safety plans and regular updates. Serious cases may lead to measures such as enhanced security or rehousing. The council will work with police and partners to take firm action against perpetrators while promoting safer, more inclusive communities.
