- Outcomes
-
This workshop will enable students to:
- understand what hate crime is and who it can effect
- to have an understanding of the laws relating to hate crime offenses and identify different types of hate crime
- to know where to get support and who to report it to
- Service Description
-
Within this workshop, students will be able to identify:
- what the protected characteristics are, and
- what hate is
This session then explores hate crime. This will enable the children to understand:
- why it is a crime
- who it targets
- how to report it
It is important to recognise that some primary children will encounter some form of hate crime within their school years. Imagine a young person witnessing or being a victim of a hate crime offense. How is it going to make them feel? What would we want that pupil to know, understand and be able to do in order to make sense of the situation?
Talking to young people about protective characteristics and being ‘positively different’ helps them to understand why we should:
- be kind
- be accepting
- celebrate other peoples differences
This in turn helps to prevent ‘small hate leading to big hate’.
During the workshops, students will undertake tasks in small groups as well as engage in whole group discussion. Sessions will be delivered by experienced trainers from Lincolnshire Police youth engagement team in an age appropriate, fair and inclusive manner.
