A new Welsh national centre where victims of hate crime will be able to report hostility and prejudice and get the support they need was announced by the Minister for Communities and Tackling Poverty Jeff Cuthbert.
The Minister made the announcement, on Sunday 11 May 2014, at the launch of the Welsh Government's Tackling Hate Crimes and Incidents - A Framework for Action at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff to an audience of more than 300 people.
The Framework covers hate crime of all kinds including race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and age. Age was added following a consultation in which we engaged with more than 400 people. They strongly highlighted how both older people and children and young people are experiencing and being targeted for hate crime.
