<p>The Government takes hate crime and discrimination of any kind very seriously.
We are a tolerant and welcoming multicultural society. There is no excuse for targeting
British Asian communities or anyone of any other background in this country. We have
one of the strongest legal frameworks in the world to report, record and prosecute
hate crime. I would encourage anyone who experiences hate crime to report it to the
police.</p><p>The Government’s Hate Crime Action Plan, published in October 2018,
sets out a comprehensive programme of work across Government and the police. We fund
hate crime reporting platforms, including True Vision, and we continue to engage with
communities of all backgrounds and local leaders, including councils and the police,
to make sure we are aware of any concerns communities may have and can provide targeted
support.</p>
