Report Hate Now

Reporting is low; in fact from our lifestyle survey did you know that even though 32% have been a victim of hate crime, 65% of our community did not report it.

What can us as partners do to change this? At Gay Surrey we believe it's about communication and understanding, building relationships is so important that we must ensure everyone understands our community and how public bodies can help us to help you.

We want you to understand why it's important to report and what actually happens when you do.

what is the IAG

The IAG for Surrey was formed in May 2001 as a direct result of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry conducted by Lord McPherson. The report criticised certain aspects of policing in relation to investigating "major or critical incidents" particularly where these might have an impact on public confidence. A critical incident is defined as:

" Any incident where the effectiveness of the police response is likely to have significant impact on the confidence of the victim, their family and/or the community."

IAG members are appointed for their specialist knowledge, experience and/or links with particular minority groups or other special interests. The IAG aims to consist of a cross-representation of Surrey 's minority communities and to include members who are able to advise on the following issues:

• Age
• Disability
• Race
• Religion/Belief
• Sex
• Sexual Orientation
