Sadly, Hate Crime continues to be an important issue for people with learning disabilities in Scotland. Research has shown that people with disabilities are almost twice as likely to be victims of violence as non-disabled adults.<\/p>\n
People with learning disabilities tell us that hate crime and other forms of harassment are common occurrences in their daily lives.<\/p>\n
The Scottish Commission for People with Learning Disabilities<\/a> (SCLD) is committed to promoting the wellbeing of people with learning disabilities and consider ourselves to have a safeguarding role in support of this aim. Encouraging the reporting and prevention of hate crime is an important part of this.<\/p>\n Report a Hate Crime<\/strong><\/p>\n SCLD is a Third Party Reporting Centre (TPRC) for hate crime.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n
