Hate Crime
Hate Crime Services Disability Equality (nw) Ltd provides a range of services to support victims of hate crime and to raise public awareness of disability hate crime. We provide one-to-one support to victims, facilitate peer support events and provide volunteering opportunities.
What Is Hate Crime? Hate Crime is any crime or incident which is motivated by hostility - i.e. is hurtful, unfriendly or unfair to the victim because of their: • DISABILITY • RACE OR ETHNICITY • RELIGION OR BELIEF • SEXUAL ORIENTATION • TRANSGENDER IDENTITY This can be committed against a person or property. In fact, anyone could be a victim of a hate crime. Hate crimes and incidents hurt; they can be confusing and frightening. By reporting them when they happen to you, you may be able to prevent these incidents from happening to someone else. There are many ways you can report a hate crime, whether as a victim, witness or worried individual and lots of help available - contact us for more details.

Any equipment necessary will be provided for the guest, hoist, sliding sheets etc. Bedroom 2: Equipped with a safespace bed, suitable for all ages within our remit.

to enjoy time in a stimulating, educational and fun setting and for families to have peace of mind that their relative is safe and happy. A great emphasis is placed on guests enjoying the opportunities in the community and we also have a large sensory room and disabled bathroom facilities. We provide 1:1 support as a minimum throughout the day and night and staff are matched appropriately for the guests arriving at the respite unit. A gradual introduction can be an option, if guests would like to enjoy a few hours with us, prior to a full overnight stay which can often be a little daunting for the first time. All of our guests will complete a person centred care plan. This will include very intricate details on communication needs and will be a tailor made package of support to suit that specific individual. Each guest will complete a ‘This Is Me’ ongoing diary as part of their stay which is optional but can be a great way to document new things learnt and achieving personal goals and dreams. Compatibility is very important and a specific rota ensuring guests will be appropriately placed together is important. Exclusivity is offered for those who require it- possibly those with more significant behavioural issues. The costings are on an hourly rate throughout the day of between £13.50 and £16.50 dependant on the level of individual need, plus a standard nightly fee from 10pm-8am. Our staff have a great understanding of a variety of conditions and have a wealth of experience within the care sector.
