Hate Crime poster and VLOG competition for Wiltshire schools

We are encouraging all primary and secondary schools across Wiltshire and Swindon to help raise awareness of hate crime and related topics, such as bullying and inclusion.

We want young people to think about how to value difference, be inclusive, promote kindness and consider the impact of their actions on others. 

The campaign message this year is H.O.P.E.    

• Hate crime awareness - events to increase public knowledge.
• Operational responses to hate crime - think about how you would respond if a hate crime happened to someone you know.
• Preventing hate crime where possible.
• Empowering communities to report hate crime and work together.

Our Poster Competition is open to all primary school children (Key stage 1 and 2) and a Video Log (vlog) Competition is for secondary schools (Key Stage 3 and 4).  The closing date is Friday 16 November. It's a fantastic opportunity to get creative and think about the message of H.O.P.E!
