Hate Crime Prejudice-Based Behaviour - National guidance

This professional learning session will support practitioners to develop their understanding of bullying, prejudice-based behaviour and hate crime within education and learning settings. Drawing on national resources developed in partnership with YouthLink Scotland, respectme and the Hate Crime Strategic Partnership, participants will explore how to recognise early signs of prejudice, respond effectively to incidents when they occur, and provide appropriate support to those affected.

The session will also build confidence in facilitating challenging conversations, understanding reporting procedures, and taking preventative approaches that contribute to inclusive, respectful and safe learning environments for all.

Education Scotland aims to have an inclusive environment for all participants, by identifying and removing barriers in our practices.
