A spokesman said: “Hate incidents are actions or words that are targeted at a person because the perpetrator is hostile or prejudiced towards the victim’s disability, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or transgender status. When the actions or words also amount to a criminal offence, it becomes a hate crime.

“Don’t put up with hate incidents and hate crimes – get support to deal with what has happened to you or someone you know.”
