NCVS is hosting a week of workshops from Monday 25 March - Friday 29 March 2019 that are designed to extend the foundation knowledge gained at our Hidden Harm Skills-building Conference on 18 March.

This half day workshop delivered by David Edgley will enable staff and volunteers within smaller community and voluntary organisations to increase awareness of LGBT+ issues, explore LGBT+ hate crime and understand how to support those at risk of harm.

Along with general LGBT+ awareness, it will include the following elements:

•      The frequency and nature of LGBT+ hate crime and its consequences
•      Some of the causes of LGBT+ hate crime
•      How the law has changed over the past 140 years
•      Why LGBT+hate crime is under-reported and how this situation can be improved
•      What positive steps individuals and organisations can take
•      What support mechanisms are available
