Support Organisations 

Open Our supports the victims of Hate Crime, but we also support organisations and professionals whose clients may be victims.  We offer a number of services to professionals, including advice, training, case referrals, drop-in sessions, assisting events and project work.

If one of your clients may be the victim of Hate Crime 

1.   You can contact Open Out anonymously to seek advice and find out what your options are

2.   You can refer the person to Open Out (with their consent)

3.   You can arrange for an Open Out worker to attend a meeting with you and the victim (this option may be useful if victim is feeling insecure about reporting)

4.   You can organise a drop in session or workshops for all service users to raise awareness of Hate Crime and ways to report
