National Hate Crime Awareness Week is a time to recognise and reflect on the impact of hate crimes, raise awareness about prejudice and discrimination and empower communities to take a stand against all forms of hate. It’s also an important opportunity to educate young people about respect, empathy and inclusion, helping to prevent harm before it starts.
Our free Hate Crime Awareness Week resources are tailored for primary and secondary schools and explore banter, bullying, stereotypes, and hurtful language – all things that can cause hurt and harm and potentially escalate into hate if left unchecked. We also talk about how Sophie’s murder was a hate crime, providing a real-world example to help students understand the consequences of hate.
Please feel free to download and use our resources by completing the form below. We would love to see how you are using them – feel free to share your experiences using the hashtag #WeAreSophie or by getting in touch via education@sophielancasterfoundation.com
