Police recorded religiously motivated hate crime has increased in recent years despite a backdrop of a longer-term downward trend in the experience of hate crime overall according to the Crime Survey of England and Wales. We know that there have been trigger events for increases in hate crime, such as the EU Referendum and the terror attacks in 2017, though data shows that these have been temporary. A considerable driver for this overall increase is general improvements in police recording, and through our work with the National Police Chiefs\u2019 Council and third party services such as the Community Security Trust and Tell MAMA, police are better at identifying whether a crime is a hate crime and victims may be more willing to come forward.<\/p>

We will not tolerate efforts to create division in our communities, against EU citizens or people of any other race, faith or background.<\/p>

There are a total of 202 households from Grenfell Tower and Walk that were made homeless and require rehousing by the Council<\/p>
Of these 202 households, there are 19 households that have not yet been rehoused in permanent accommodation: 5 households are currently in emergency accommodation (2 in hotels and 3 in serviced apartments) and 14 households are in temporary accommodation<\/p>
Of these 19 households, 13 households have accepted an offer of permanent accommodation. We expect the Council to do whatever is necessary to ensure these households can move and settle into their permanent homes as swiftly as possible, but to do so sensitively and taking into account individual households' specific needs<\/p>
The remaining 6 households have not yet accepted an offer of permanent accommodation. The Council reports that a suitable property that meets their needs has been reserved for each household. We continue to provide support to the Council to ensure every survivor is able to move into a home that meets their needs as soon as possible.<\/p>"}
