The new Sexual Health easy read booklets are now available!

The booklets were co-produced with individuals with learning disabilities in partnership with Public Health, Ace Anglia and Thinklusive.

Individuals helped with the development of the design, content and images to make sure it was easy to use and understand. You can access and view the booklets on the Healthy Suffolk website here:

Below is information and links from The Source: http://www.thesource.me.uk/home/do-you-know-about/hate-crime-and-how-to-report-it/

What is a hate crime?
A hate crime is any crime which is motivated because of any of the following:
- race
- nationality
- religion or belief
- gender identity
- sexual orientation
- disability whether physical, sensory or mental

It is bullying behaviour and can take many forms from violence to name calling. Hate crime is wrong.

How do you report hate crime?

If you have experienced or witnessed a hate crime you can report it by:

- Using the Suffolk Police online reporting form: https://www.suffolk.police.uk/contact-us/report-something/5-report-it-hate-crime-or-incident

- Calling 101 but if it is an emergency call 999

- Report it anonymously online via the True Vision website: https://www.report-it.org.uk/

- On the Fearless website: https://www.fearless.org/en/give-info
