Have you been a victim of hate crime?

The general (and student) population of Coventry is VERY diverse...

That's why it's important that every student, no matter your race, disability, sexual orientation, religion or identity, feels safe. 

We want you to feel as happy and supported as possible and that's why we're encouraging you to get reach out to people if you feel the opposite.

What is a hate crime?
Hate crimes are targeted at a person purely because of prejudice or discrimination because of their disability, ethnicity, religion, faith or belief, sexual orientation or transgender identity.
