We commit to learning together in a brave space; one that welcomes disagreement, complexity, and growth, while remaining rooted in respect, care, and accountability.

Action learning

You will be part of an 'action learning set' - a set group of learners who collaborate every class to strengthen their learning and explore ideas together.

'By-and-for' expert knowledge

The course has been developed by leading hate crime support organisations, and draws from the largest and most robust 'by-and-for' knowledge base on hate in the UK.

Trauma-informed

The course is designed to be trauma-informed; it's sensitive to experiences of trauma and actively preventing re-traumatisation. In the course, we explore positionality, power, and anti-oppressive approaches to being trauma-informed.

Real scenarios

Using cases provided by 7 leading anti-hate organisations, we will explore real scenarios and responses to current lived-experiences of victims of hate crime.

Tangible skills

We don't just cover theory and processes. With IHCA, you'll explore real-world applications, empathetic decision-making, and effective communication to apply to you day-to-day.

Holistic approaches

To always be person-led and intersectional, we'll guide you on how to consider all aspects of a victim's life, including their physical, emotional, social, cultural, community, and economic needs.

"I was verbally abused and outed to people at my place of education, resulting in my partner being scared her family would find out about her sexuality, and me to feel extremely unsafe on campus.”

Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks (MAMA) is a secure and reliable service that allows people from across England to report any form of Anti-Muslim abuse. Reporting an incident to us is incredibly easy. You can do so via the Telephone, Email, SMS, Facebook or Twitter. Once we have your information secured, one of our trained case workers will call you to discuss the issue further and ensure we have all the details we require to record the incident accurately and offer you our support.

The Monitoring Group is a leading anti-racist charity that promotes civil rights. We provide a helpline and casework service to people experiencing racial violence, religious hatred, sexual violence and state neglect or misconduct.

East European Resource Centre is a charity (reg. no. 1114607) that provides information, advice and support to people from Central and Eastern Europe from the 2004 and 2007 EU accession countries: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Stay Safe East provides advocacy and support to disabled people that are experiencing any sort of abuse, harassment or violence.

The Community Security Trust (CST) is a Jewish charity that supports victims of antisemitism and records antisemitic hate incidents and hate crimes. CST received charitable status in 1994 and is a national organisation with full time staff in London, Manchester and Leeds and a network of volunteers throughout the United Kingdom. Its annual Antisemitic Incidents Report contains the only UK-wide statistics and analysis of antisemitic incidents and hate crimes. CST has extensive experience of advocacy and support for victims of antisemitic hate crime.

Galop is the UK’s LGBT+ anti-abuse charity. We work with and for LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse and violence. Galop works directly with thousands of LGBT+ people who have experienced abuse and violence every year. We specialise in supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, hate crime, honour-based abuse, forced marriage, so-called conversion therapies, and other forms of interpersonal abuse. We are a service run by LGBT+ people, for LGBT+ people, and the needs of our community are at the centre of what we do.

In partnership with Tell MAMA, CST, The Monitoring Group, Choice in Hackney, Stay Safe East and East European Resource Centre, we have co-designed the UK’s first specialist hate crime advocacy course.

We want to ensure all professionals advocating for victims and survivors of hate have the confidence, tools, and knowledge to offer a meaningful and trauma-informed response to the ever-rising levels of hate.  

Uniquely built from the UK’s most robust ‘by and for’ knowledge base on hate crime, this course is meaningfully intersectional and revolutionary.
