Real Disability Hate Crime Round Table Real Disability Hate Crime Round Table “Disability and LGBT” Jack Dash House | 22nd February 2018 Introduction This is the first of three annual Disability Hate Crime Round Table events organised by Real, Local Voices Project, Disability Hate Crime Project in partnership with 17-24-30 No to Hate Crime Campaign. The aim of these events is to bring a range of people together to discuss Disability Hate Crime and look at intersectionality with other communities affected by hate crime. We decided to organise three of these events, one every four months, to be in February, June and October each year. February to tie in with LGBT History month focussing on Disability and LGBT hate crime, June focussing on Disability and Faith hate crime, and October to tie in with Black History Month focussing on Disability and Race hate crime. This event focussed on Disability and LGBT. Event Promotion Once we had set the dates we designed a basic logo and event title block that we could use to publicise the event. This was used across our social media; Eventbrite, Facebook, MailChimp, Twitter and WordPress. Eventbrite We use Eventbrite as a tool to manage registrations for our events and set up three events. 22 February | https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/myevent?eid=42192635308 21 June | https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/myevent?eid=42192674425 11 October | https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/myevent?eid=42355455307 Facebook We used our Real Disability Hate Crime Project (public) Facebook page to promote the three events. Setting up three Facebook events. 22 February | https://www.facebook.com/events/542659246112026/ 21 June | https://www.facebook.com/events/211808829379251/ 11 October | https://www.facebook.com/events/211808829379251/ MailChimp We use MailChimp to produce Real’s monthly newsletter. We promoted the events in the February issue of the newsletter. February Newsletter | https://us10.admin.mailchimp.com/campaigns/show?id=1308109 The article also promote a url link to a news article we had posted on our WordPress site. URL Link | http://www.real.org.uk/news/real-action-disability-hate-crime- roundtables/ This also included links to register via Eventbrite and a short piece to promote Galop the LGBT anti-violence charity that we had invited to speak at the February event. Twitter We used our @RealDH8Cproject Twitter account to promote the three events with a tweet we posted on the 19th January. This linked the news article that we had posted on the Real WordPress site. We used our other two Twitter profiles @RealDPO and @LocalVoicesTH to comment on the tweet and share it across all three Twitter profiles. WordPress We posted a news article about the three events on our Real WordPress site. WordPress | http://www.real.org.uk/news/real-action-disability-hate-crime- roundtables/ Email Promotion We also used our existing email contacts to promote the events to a wider audience. Rob Johnson promoted it to the Local Voices Network, Hannah West promoted it to the No Place for Hate Forum and Mark Healey promoted it through his networks. Target Audience The target audience for these events can be divided into four distinct groups; (a) Hate Crime professionals – working across London. (b) Local Authorities in Tower Hamlets – Police and Council. (c) Key Partners – specific hate crime organisations that we aim to work with. (d) Local Voices Network – specifically disabled people who live, work, study or socialise in the borough of Tower Hamlets. Hate Crime Professionals There are some key people who have developed expertise dealing with disability hate crime and other forms of hate crime that we aim to work with. Mike Smith (our CEO) who was involved in the production of the Hidden in Plain Sight Report, Ruth Bashall (Director of Stay Safe East), Anne Novis (Chair Inclusion London), Stephen Brooke (Disability Hate Crime Network) amongst others. Local Authorities On a local level there is Tower Hamlets Council and Tower Hamlets Police. On a regional level the Mayor’s Office of Policing and Crime (MOPAC) and the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). Key Partners There are key organisations that we want to establish relationships with including; Community Security Trust, Galop, Gate Herts, Inclusion London, Sophie Lancaster Foundation, Tell Mama and The Monitoring Group. HEAR Charities against Hate Crime Network, Stop Hate UK and Victim Support. Stay Safe East and Inclusion London have helped pioneer Disability Hate Crime Awareness in London. There are also borough based Disability Hate Crime projects including: Lambeth Disability Hate Crime Partnership, Speak Up Lewisham, Inclusion Barnet. Local Voices Network Our network of over 200 disabled people who live, work, study or socialise within the borough of Tower Hamlets. Aims and objectives The broad aim of these events is to organise and facilitate discussion of Disability Hate Crime within the borough of Tower Hamlets. We wanted to look at the intersectionality between Disability and other communities affected by hate crime, with the ambition of bringing representative from those communities together to share knowledge and experiences and find common ground. We thought this would help encourage and develop relationships between the four distinct groups who make up our target audience. Helping each group to connect with each other, to become aware of each other’s work, and explore ways to work together. To establish communication and referral routes between all parties. We hoped that this would benefit Real, Tower Hamlets and the disabled communities we are working with, by raising awareness of disability hate crime, providing direct access to experts working in the sector and opportunities for people to get personally connected and involved. We want this to lead to more people becoming Disability Hate Crime Champions in the borough. Finally, we want to help shape the direction of work in 2018 to meet the needs of the communities we work with. To ensure that their issues are addressed are addressed through our work. Initial Contact Our primary focus was organising the first meeting in February which would fall within LGBT History Month and focus on Disability and LGBT Hate Crime. We invited Inclusion London, Galop, ELOP/Tower Hamlets LGBT Community Forum, Metro Charity and Mike Smith to participate and present during the first meeting. All except Metro Charity accepted this invitation. Community Security Trust and Tell Mama confirmed that they will attend the June meeting. We were also contacted by David Wilkin, a researcher from the University Of Leicester Department Of Criminology who is working on a Transport and Disability Hate Crime Project. He could not make the February meeting but agreed to attend the June meeting. Agenda We planned the agenda as follows; 12:00 | Welcome and introductions (Mark Healey) 12:20 | Real Disability Hate Crime Report (Hannah West) 12:30 | Inclusion London (Alex Hendra) 13:00 |ELOP / Tower Hamlets LGBT Community Forum (Sarah Humphreys) 13:30 | Galop (Kaye Medcalf) 14:00 | Light refreshments 14:30 | Hidden in Plain Sight Report (Mike Smith) 15:00 | Workshop exercise – planning 2018 (Mark Healey) 16:00 | End Registration 21 people registered to attend the event via Eventbrite. Preparation We booked the Chamber for the three events as soon as we confirmed the dates. Before the event we did a basic health and safety risk assessment – checking for and minimalising potential risks. On the day (with 21 people registered) we settled on a boardroom style layout for the chamber. Laptop and Projector Rob set up a laptop and projector. Budget We had no budget for this event. 17-24-30 No to Hate Crime Campaign donated the sum of one hundred and fifty pounds £150 towards light refreshments for this and the following two events. Providing a budget of fifty pounds £50 per event. Access Requirements We did have a request to cover travel and pan typist expenses for one person who wanted to attend the event from another borough. Unfortunately as we have no budget to host this event and we were unable to meet this specific request. We are hoping to apply for funding to address this issue. We have limited scope to provide support to Local Voices members from the Local Voices budget (this fund can only be used for Local Voices members). Light Refreshments Lorna and Rob sorted out light refreshments for the event. Tea, coffee, milk and sugar. Water, 2 flavours of cordial. Biscuits, cake and fruit. Sign-up Sheets A register of attendees was ready for people to sign in, and a sign-up sheet was circulated at the meeting. Attendance In total 18 people attended the event including three members of the Local voices Network (it would have been four members but unfortunately one member was taken ill just before the event was about to start). House keeping Mark went through basic housekeeping with those present. No fire alarm expected to take place. Fire exits and area for those who require assistance in an emergency Location of toilets Mobile phones to silent or vibrate Permission to take photos during the event. Introductions We went round the room so that each person present could say their name and which organisation they represented. We provided name place cards so each person could write on their name and organisation – which was then displayed in front of them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wall Displays In the room, Mark had set up three wall displays. Agenda What we aim to achieve in 2018 March 2018 to February 2019 Agenda This was displayed on the wall as follows; What we aim to achieve in 2018 This was a single sheet of A2 Flipchart paper with an arrow pointing upwards towards the words “Parity before the law”. Mark explained that there had been a meeting with the Equality Diversity Forum in January, where the theme for National Hate Crime Awareness Week #NHCAW was discussed.

Work on this report commenced in late March 2017 and the final report was submitted to the Review in July 2017. Chapter 1 (What is Hate Crime?) explores what is meant by the term “hate crime”, noting that different definitions may properly be used for different purposes. It notes that the legislative response to hate crime can be characterised by the definition offered by Chakraborti and Garland: the creation of offences, or sentencing provisions, “which adhere to the principle that crimes motivated by hatred or prejudice towards particular features of the victim’s identity should be treated differently from ‘ordinary’ crimes”.

  • Still Getting Away with Murder: Disability Hate Crime in England
    Still Getting Away with Murder A report about Disability Hate Crime in England Disability hate crime: this means when somebody commits a crime against a Disabled person because of their impairment. Impairment: in the document, this is used to talk about a Disabled person’s medical condition, diagnosis or difference. This could be physical or mental. Not all Disabled people are comfortable with the word ‘impairment’. However, we are not using this word to talk about who the person is. That is a personal choice. Part A – A Summary of the report One out of five Disabled people say that they have faced unkind or threatening behaviour or even been attacked (Inclusion London, 2020). Disabled people: in this document, this means people with impairments who choose to be part of the Disabled people's movement in the UK. These people stand up for rights for Disabled people across the country. This document looks at the fight against disability hate crime in England over the last 10 years. In 2008, we wrote a report called Getting Away With Murder . Getting Away with Murder Report: this was a report that was written in 2008 by Katharine Quarmby, together with Disability Now, the UK Disabled People’s Council and Scope. It looked at Disabled people’s experiences of hate crime in 2008. Since then, there have been lots of changes in the ways that disability hate crime is dealt with. This document looks at how things have changed since the last report was written. It is hard to say how much change there has been over the last 12 years.

The Upside-down Kingdom of God: A Disability Studies Perspective on Disabled People’s Experiences in Churches and Theologies of Disability NAOMI LAWSON JACOBS Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD 2019 Department of Religions and Philosophies SOAS, University of London 1 Abstract This thesis argues that, in many churches, disabled people are conceptualised as objects of care. However, disabled Christians are capable of being active agents in churches, with service, ministry and theologies of their own to offer. In Part A, I explore the discourses that have historically functioned in churches to marginalise disabled Christians. Using a Foucauldian approach, I argue that the Christian pastoral model has a fundamental orientation towards individualism, addressing disability through frameworks of care and charity, rather than through a model of justice.

  • A Sociological Exploration of the Impact of Hate Crime on the Health and Wellbeing of People with Learning Disabilities in Scotland
    1 Narrative Report: A Sociological Exploration of the Impact of Hate Crime on the Health and Wellbeing of People with Learning Disabilities in Scotland Dr Phillippa Wiseman and Professor Nick Watson Scottish Learning Disabilities Observatory Introduction This narrative literature review focuses on hate crime, learning disability and wellbeing in Scotland. This review forms part of an ongoing piece of research linking hate crime to health and wellbeing for people with learning disabilities. Coverage and awareness of hate crime targeted at disabled people in general and people with a learning disability in particular have recently become much more prominent both in the mass media and in academic literature. There has for example been a great deal of publicity around a relatively small number of very serious and high profile hate crimes such as those targeted at Fiona Pilkington and Brent Martin (see Quarmby 2013). This has been accompanied by an increase in media coverage about the rising number of reported cases of disability hate crime. This increase in coverage notwithstanding there is evidence to suggest that a large number of disability hate crime incidents go unreported and that the statistics greatly under-represent the size of the problem and despite increased media attention directed towards disability hate crime it continues to receive relatively limited academic and policy attention in comparison to other forms of hate crimes (Sin 2014). In addition we know very little about disability hate crime by impairment group and there is very poor recording of hate crime by type of impairment. A report published by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC 2011), claims that 1.9 million disabled people were victims of hate crime in the UK in 2009-10 yet only 1942 such crimes were reported in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2011, with the number of convictions as low as 523.

  • Offences (Aggravation by Prejudice) (Scotland) Bill
    AP14 Justice Committee Offences (Aggravation by Prejudice) (Scotland) Bill Written submission from the Equality and Human Rights Commission Introduction 1 The Equality and Human Rights Commission was established by the Equality Act 2006 and came into being on 1 October 2007. We are the independent advocate for equality and human rights across the three nations of Great Britain, and we work to reduce inequality, eliminate discrimination, strengthen good relations between people, and promote and protect human rights. We enforce equality legislation on age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, and sexual orientation and encourage compliance with the Human Rights Act. In Scotland, we co-locate and work in partnership with the Scottish Commission for Human Rights. 2 The Commission welcomes the opportunity to give evidence to the Justice Committee on the Offences (Aggravation by Prejudice) (Scotland) Bill. The Commission, and its legacy organisations, the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE), Disability Rights Commission (DRC) and the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC), have been closely involved in the debate on criminal justice responses to hate crime in Scotland, with the CRE represented on the Cross-Party Working Group on Religious Hatredi, and both the DRC and the EOC members of the Working Group on Hate Crimeii. 3 The Commission has sought to build on this work from its legacy commissions, and is currently taking forward a number of pieces of work looking at legislative and policy responses to crime targeting different social groups and at how different types of offence disproportionately affect different sections of society. At the GB level, work is underway on identifying the priorities for promoting personal safety and security for disabled people, looking at criminal justice responses, but also those from the health and social care sectors.
