London Race Hate Crime Forum (RHCF)

1. Effect policies, protocols and processes that will contribute to the effective and efficient implementation and monitoring of performance of the Race Hate Crimes “aspect” of the Crime and Disorder Audits and strategies by the local partnerships at a pan-London level.
2. Engage with key central government departments and pan-London agencies to secure agreement to a pan-London Protocol for responding to and dealing with Race (and other) Hate Crimes at local partnerships.
3. Secure the agreement among key agencies, pan-London and locally, for the sharing of personalised and depersonalised information in order to satisfy agency responsibility under section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1988.
4. Co-ordinate and disseminate good practice examples in dealing with Race (and other) Hate Crimes across the key statutory and voluntary agencies in London.
5. Provide Policy and guidance to local Crime and Disorder partnerships in their dealings with Race (and other) Hate Crimes.
6. Continuously monitor and review the learning gained from developments on Race Hate, to inform the development of policies, protocols and practices on other Hate crime areas.
7. Proactively establish relationships with other stakeholders, central government departments and pan-London agencies.
8. In consultation with ministers, central government departments, the Association for London Government (ALG), Government Office for London (GOL) and other key agencies, develop protocols and agreements that would hold the partnerships accountable for the delivery.
9. In addition to the above, it is proposed that, due to the range of key organisations that will be members of the Forum, that it could act ‘as a one-stop-shop’ to local authorities, the police and other partner organisations, that require the provision of expertise and coordination in the event of critical race hate incidents.
