Belfast Lord Mayor Councillor Niall Ó Donnghaile was joined by PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott and Justice Minister David Ford at the Unite Against Hate convention at City Hall today.
The event brought together people who are working to address hate crime to share best practice and to identify what emerging issues should be prioritised for action.
Organised by Belfast City Council, it’s the fifth year the event has been held in the city and through the work of the Belfast Community Safety Partnership, a number of successful anti-hate crime initiatives have been rolled out.
The aim of today’s event was to review the work of the partnership to date and to focus on current priorities which will help influence future plans to tackle hate crime in our society.
