<p> </p><p>Tackling all forms of hate crime, including that motivated by hatred of
a person's sexual orientation or transgender identity is an issue the coalition Government
takes very seriously. <br><br>On 1 May 2014 we published 'Challenge it, Report it,
Stop it - Delivering the Government's Hate Crime Action Plan'. This progress report
provides an overview of our achievements since the action plan was first published
in March 2012 and sets out our key priorities for the remainder of this Parliament.
A specific action in the plan includes tackling homophobia and transphobia in sports.<br><br>We
are meeting the coalition commitment to improve the recording of hate crimes motivated
by sexual orientation and transgender identity and are working with the police and
other partners to encourage more victims to come forward. We have supported voluntary
sector organisations to develop third party reporting services for LGBT victims.</p><p>
