Leeds regularly runs anti-discrimination campaigns taking part in an annual Hate Crime Awareness Week through Safer Leeds. This involves engagement and support with partners, across a range of agencies, with third sector, voluntary organisations and residents, including a successful Twitter hashtag #LeedsNoPlaceforHate. Bespoke localised public facing sessions in communities are also undertaken. Within the own workforce there are also specific staff networks that run specific campaigns, training and awareness raising for services related to protected groups, including Women’s Voice, the BAME[1] Network, the LGBT+ Network and DAWN (Disability and Wellbeing Network). Events facilitated by these networks include National Disability Day, National Inclusion Week and Black History Month.
