<p>We are clear that there is no excuse for using the British people's decision to
leave the EU to target people of any faith or background, and that includes EU nationals.
All forms of hate crime are completely unacceptable and this country has one of the
strongest legal frameworks in the world to report, record and prosecute hate crime.
We are funding hate crime reporting platforms, including Tell MAMA and True Vision
who seek to increase hate crime reporting, helping communities unearth and challenge
such behaviour. <br> <br> More broadly, we are continuing our work to ensure that
Britain remains a country where people live, work, learn and socialise together and
share rights and responsibilities, whatever their background. We are engaging with
communities of all faiths and background, to make sure that we understand any concerns
communities may have and can provide targeted support. We have also worked with community
and local partners to develop and publish guidance to support local authorities to
engage effectively with all communities during this period.</p>
