-
Gain an understanding of the legal framework for tackling hate crime
-
Explore the next steps in strengthening prevention and intervention procedures and improving prosecution rates
-
Consider how to raise awareness of disability hate crime and improve responses amongst the public and front-line practitioners
-
Discuss how to improve the security and safety of disabled people to empower them to live their lives
