Accepted
Third-party reporting mechanisms for anti-Muslim hatred are vital and require inclusivity.
Conclusion
We welcome the Government’s introduction of a new fund to support a third-party reporting mechanism for victims of anti-Muslim hatred. Such mechanisms can play a vital role in enabling individuals to report hate crimes, particularly in cases where mistrust of the police or other frontline services may discourage direct reporting. It is essential that these mechanisms are inclusive and accessible to all segments of the Muslim community, ensuring that no group is left behind. (Conclusion, Paragraph 58)
