Students were given details of awareness of hate crime and the different forms it can take, information on how to report a hate crime and the consequences for the victim, offender and the wider community.

Students were encouraged to give their ideas and opinions on the subject.

Doncaster East NPT are keen to deliver this to other schools, colleges or academies in the area.

If you have any involvement in an education setting and like the idea, then please contact Doncaster East via Facebook, email, 101 or SYP Alerts to discuss further.
