The Scottish Commission for People with Learning Disabilities (SCLD) is a Third Party Reporting Centre (TPRC) for hate crime.

This means that if you think a hate crime has been committed against you or someone you know or support, SCLD can help you report this to the police.

What are Third Party Reporting Centres (TSPCs)? 

Hate crime is known to disproportionately affect people with learning disabilities and it is also known to be significantly underreported. People do not always feel comfortable reporting hate crimes directly to the Police.

To overcome this, Police Scotland work in partnership with various public sector and third sector organisations to provide safe and private spaces for people to report hate crimes.

These spaces are called Third Party Reporting Centres (TPRCs). TPRCs exist as a means for people to report hate crime(s) anonymously.

You can find out more about TPRCs here.

How do I report a hate crime to SCLD?

If you, or someone you know or support has been a victim of hate crime, SCLD can help you report this to Police Scotland.
