There were no action points from the May meeting.

Ado and Keith who work with Rossington Outreach kindly offered to share their stories/experiences on hate crime and how they’ve been personally effected. Most members of the forum knew or had a story relating to Hate Crime. Alison Atkinson - Hate Crime Coordinator for South Yorkshire Police told the group South Yorkshire police are currently engaging with schools and people 10years+ to raise awareness/respect of hate crime. Police are training officers who deal with the people affected by hate crime so they are aware of how to react to the situation.

Andrew suggested it may be an idea to hold a workshop around hate crime/safeguarding at the Keeping Safe event. Neena and Sean from Safeguarding Adults in Bradford came along to the forum to learn what we do and exchange ideas. Relating to the hate crime presentation, Neena spoke about police camps in Bradford which discuss hate crime and drug/alcohol abuse with children. Sean asked the forum if there is training on safeguarding within Doncaster. Stacey from St Leger homes explained they have training for each colleague in their organisation. Sue mentioned that 2

ChAD have forums which discuss certain subjects and there is online training with council.
