Why should I report hate and discrimination?

First of all, to get the support you need.

Letting others know can also help stop the behaviour from getting worse, happening to others and therefore make your community safer.

Hate should always be taken seriously; no matter how low-level it may seem to be, the impact of hate motivated abuse at all levels can be extreme and long lasting. Action on hate should be taken regardless of whether the offender (s) is under the influence of drugs or alcohol; their age; has mental health issues or is disabled: there is no excuse for hate
