<p>The Home Office does not hold information on how many hate crimes were reported
by staff in the Ambulance Service, Fire and Rescues Services or Police.</p><p>All
hate crimes, whether against the emergency services or members of the public, are
absolutely unacceptable. The Government is committed to tackling hate crime, through
the Hate Crime Action Plan and we have asked the Law Commission to conduct a full
review of the coverage and approach of current hate crime legislation.</p><p>The Government
takes police wellbeing and morale very seriously. That is why we have invested £7.5m
in a new National Police Wellbeing Service (NPWS). The NPWS was launched in April
2019 and has developed evidence-based guidance, advice, tools and resources which
can be accessed by forces, as well as individual officers and staff. The Government
also welcomes the work being led by forces to ensure the welfare of all officers and
staff.</p>
