Reporting hate crime
The Mayor is clear there is no place for hate crime in London. Nobody should have to feel scared or vulnerable because of the community they belong to.
That is why the Mayor, the Met police, and partner agencies continue to take a zero-tolerance approach to hate crimes in London.
You can help too by reporting any hate crimes you experience or witness to the police. And together, we can create a safer and fairer London for everyone.
If you have experienced or witnessed a hate crime, you should start by reporting it to the police.
-
By phone: Call 999 in an emergency, or 101 in a non-emergency.
-
In person: At any police station with a front counter
-
Online: Report a Hate Crime
-
Community organisations: You can also report hate crime via community organisations. Some organisations, including CATCH (all forms of hate crime), Community Security Trust, (antisemitic hate crime), Tell MAMA (anti-Muslim hate crime) and The Monitoring Group (racist hate crime) allow for anonymous or confidential reports.
The Mayor has ensured support is available for anyone who might need it.
You can access support from the independent Hate Crime Victims Service for London which is delivered by CATCH.

In addition, MOPAC has commissioned the London Victim and Witness Service which provides confidential and independent support for adult victims and witnesses of crime.

The Mayor, the Met police, and partner agencies are working hard to tackle hate crime in London.
Through the Mayor’s Shared Endeavour Fund, we are supporting grassroots projects across London working to strengthen communities against hate, intolerance, and extremism.
MOPAC funding supports London’s National Hate Crime Awareness Week events and the No2H8 Crime awards to raise awareness of the issue.
MOPAC has commissioned Protection Approaches. This involves working with staff and volunteers from community-based organisations to improve their ability to support community members who are targeted by hate crime.
The Greater London Authority is also working in partnership with the London Boroughs Faiths Network to deliver a new community resilience training course designed for faith communities. Click here to find out more and to register your interest.
