Transgender People: Young People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to support young trans people impacted by hate crime.
Answered by Jess Phillips
This Government is determined to tackle all forms of hate crime across England and Wales, including transgender identity hate crimes.
Under the Victims’ Code all victims, including victims of hate crime, are entitled to be referred to support services when they report a crime.
The Government funds vital support services to help victims cope and recover from the impact of crime, through a mix of local and nationally commissioned services. The Government also provides Police and Crime Commissioners with annual grant funding to commission local practical, emotional, and therapeutic support services for victims of all crime types, including hate crime.
