<p>The Government takes hate crime against all communities very seriously, which is
why we published the hate crime action plan (Action Against Hate: The UK Government’s
plan for tackling hate crime) in July 2016. This plan was refreshed in October 2018.</p><p>The
Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is supporting Herts GATE (Gypsy
and Traveller Empowerment) with over £75,000 of funding in 2019/20 to encourage reporting
and support Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) victims of hate crime.</p><p>In November
2019 the Crown Prosecution Service held its second National Scrutiny Panel on hate
crime affecting GRT communities. The Panel considered issues relating to the investigation
and prosecution of GRT hate crime and subsequently produced an Action Plan of commitments,
including working with key departments across Government to raise awareness of the
issues. This followed a first Action Plan that was published in February 2017.</p><p>
