Hate crime

South Tyneside Council is working with other organisations including the Police to help prevent further hate incidents.

Support is tailored to the needs of each victim which may include emotional support, practical support or advocacy.

We can also provide you with assistance in reporting a crime to the Police and in attending court, but there is no pressure to do this.

Even if you do not need support yourself, it is still important for us to know what incidents are taking place in the Borough and where.

Where appropriate, we will also signpost and refer to other services.
