Keeping Barnet Safe: Hate Crime Awareness Week 2023
There is no place for hate in Barnet. No one deserves to be targeted with abuse because of their disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith, race or religion.
National Hate Crime Awareness Week runs from 14- 21 October. Sign the pledge to become a Hate Crime Reporting Champion and report hate crime if you witness it.
