The Police, Crime and Victims Commissioner (PCVC) recognises the need for specialist support for victims of hate crime/incidents and is subsequently keen to trial a new Independent Hate Crime Advocacy Service.

The service will work closely with existing providers of support for victims of crime and partnership arrangements to enhance rather than replace current service delivery.

It is expected that the service will: • Deliver independent specialist advocacy for victims of hate crime; • Provide ‘end to end’ advocacy support for victims who report the crime, their families and wider networks – it is intended that this is primarily focused on the victims’ participation in CJS processes and beyond where necessary; • Provide independent advocacy for those victims, their families and networks who choose not to report the crime; • Promote social inclusion, equity and high quality services across all communities.
