I caught up with Nasar Iqbal from Black Country Innovate CIC which works as part of Walsall for All with a particular focus on Hate Crime Reduction Initiative.
Nasar and his team worked with De Montfort University to research ways in which victims of hate crime can be better supported. They then coordinated a community led approach involving the the Council, West Midlands Police, Faith leaders and the private sector to promote better reporting, support and restorative justice in relation to Hate crime.
