Disability hate crime: a guide for carers and supporters

This comprehensive guide, developed in partnership with the National Police Chiefs’ Council and Dimensions, is designed to empower carers, family members, support workers, and professionals with the knowledge and tools to identify, respond to, and report disability hate crime.
Hate crime

Disability hate crime is a deeply harmful and often under-recognised issue affecting autistic and disabled people, and those who care for and support them.

Whether you’re a parent, partner, health professional, or simply someone who cares, this resource will help you understand the signs of abuse, navigate safeguarding and legal processes, and advocate effectively for the safety and rights of the person you support. Together, we can challenge hostility, promote inclusion, and ensure that everyone has the right to live free from fear and discrimination.
