GMIAU is a third party reporting centre for hate crime.

What is a third party reporting centre?

Third party reporting centres are based within organisations and groups across the City of Manchester, and independent from the City Council or Greater Manchester Police (GMP).

The reporting centres enable victims of hate crimes to both seek support and be encouraged to report hate crime and hate incidents in an environment of their choosing where they may feel more confident and comfortable.

If you need to report a hate crime, you can come to GMIAU's office and we will support you to report it.

Third party reporting can also be made directly to GMP by using the 101-telephone number or 999 if the incident is an emergency or by accessing the national True Vision hate crime reporting website: Report It

What is hate crime?

Hate incidents and hate crime are acts of violence or hostility directed at people because of who they are or who someone thinks they are. These acts can involve verbal & online abuse, physical attacks, criminal damage, and many more offences.

For people we support, this might include being attacked or harrassed because of where they are from, the colour of their skin, their religion. This is not acceptable and can be reported.
