<p>A National Scrutiny Panel on Disability Hate Crime was convened by the CPS in March
2021, consisting of community stakeholders, academics and police. The Panel focused
on in-depth scrutiny of the handling of disability hate crime cases. As a result,
the CPS will this month circulate a bulletin to all prosecutors. This will highlight
key findings, lessons and top tips arising from the review. In addition, operational
guidance has been refreshed and will be launched this month. It will provide prosecutors
with an updated appreciation of how disability hate crime occurs, based on the lived
experience of disabled people.</p>
