You can report a hate crime by calling 999 (emergency) or 101 (non-emergency), or online: Norfolk Constabulary / Stop Hate UK / Crimestoppers
A hate incident may be because of their disability, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age or lifestyle. The hate incident may or may not constitute a criminal offence.
A hate incident is any incident which is perceived by the victim or any other person as being motivated by prejudice or hatred for a particular person or group of people because they are seen as being different.
To register for the emergencySMS service, text the word ‘register’ to 999 then follow the instructions you are sent. You can only use the service if you have registered first.
The emergencySMS service lets deaf, hard of hearing and speech-impaired people in the UK send an SMS text message to the UK 999 service where it will be passed to the police, ambulance, fire rescue, or coastguard.
Never feel pressured to steal something. When you are caught, the consequences include being arrested, a criminal record, and a reputation that others will remember.

Each child/young person may respond differently to experiencing or witnessing domestic abuse, some common long-term effects are: anxiety, depression, withdrawal, nightmares, bed wetting, low self esteem, aggressive behaviour, eating disorders, underachieving at school.
There is a strong connection between domestic abuse and child abuse. Research studies have found that in 40-60% of cases when women are being abused, children are also being abused.
A third of children present try to intervene to protect their mothers and therefore may get caught in the middle of the abuse. The child may see the mothers injuries after the abuse or may be forced to witness it.
