Spaces still available - PAVO is hosting two free training sessions delivered by Victim Support at the Conference Room, Unit 30, Ddole Road Enterprise Park, Llandrindod Wells, Powys, LD1 6DF. The training will be on Wednesday the 28th of January 2015 with a choice of 10.00 to 12.00 or 2.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m.

A hate crime or hate incident is committed because of who you are or who someone thinks you are. Quite simply, if because of your age, disability, sexuality, religion, ethnicity, gender(including gender identity) or lifestyle choice (e.g. Goth) someone or a group of people targets you, commits a crime against you, bullies you or harasses you, then this is a hate crime or hate incident.

The training will -
Give information on the different types of Hate Crimes and Incidents
Inform of the impact on victims and the support available.
Set out the ways in which to report Hate Crimes and Hate Incidents

The training may demonstrate to grant aid bodies that your organisation is carrying out work to achieve your Equality Policy. A General Duty of the Equality Act 2010 is to 'Eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation.'
