No Place for Hate campaign

Friday, 02 October 2020
 

The No Place for Hate campaign will be running across our UK campuses from Saturday 10 - Saturday 17 October. This is your chance to get the answers to all of the questions you've never felt comfortable to ask.

We’re going to be examining all aspects of equality, diversity and inclusivity, and not just the obvious stuff. We’ll look at how different issues might manifest themselves on- and off-campus, and how we can all work together to recognise and challenge these issues, making Nottingham a more welcome and inclusive place for everyone.

To some, it might be obvious what (for example) a hate crime is, but for others it might not be so clear. And remember, it doesn’t have to be a hate crime to hurt, so being able to identify a range of issues makes it easier to challenge inappropriate behaviours.

No-one is an expert in everything, and that’s okay – as long as you’re willing to learn and to change your behaviours accordingly. With this in mind, we’ll be running a series of Q&As on Instagram where you can ask any question you have that relates to EDI.

A training package on hate crimes is now available to everyone to increase awareness and understanding of hate crimes and how to recognise and report them. 

In addition to the training package, a range of virtual events will take place:

  • Nottingham Together - Let's talk about disability hate crime
