Hate Incident Reporting Centres (HIRCs)

Hate Incident Reporting Centres (HIRCs) offer anyone who has experienced or witnessed a hate crime / incident the opportunity to report it if they would prefer not to report it to the police.

Most of the Centres are managed and updated by the five District Local Authorities within West Yorkshire. Alternatively, independent reporting services are available, such as Stop Hate UK, True Vision and Bradford Hate Crime Alliance.

Where are the Hate Incident Reporting Centres?

Hate Incident Reporting Centres are based at various community venues / organisations across West Yorkshire. 

Hate Incident Reporting Centres are locations where victims of a hate incident may choose to report an incident and have control over the nature of the report, the type of investigation and support they need.
