Local Updates http://intranet.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/news/hate-crime- awareness-week/ National Hate Crime Awareness Week 2019 runs from 12 19 October to raise awareness of the impact of hate and prejudice on individuals and communities, and to bring people together in standing against hate in all its forms. Nottingham is a great place to live with vibrant, diverse communities. We are proud of this diversity and the spirit of our communities. We believe that we have more in common than divides us and that our differences are to be celebrated as a strength. Hate crime of any sort has no place in our city. Nobody should be made to feel afraid, intimidated or threatened because of who they are. We want to send out a strong message that there is No Place For Hate in the city we are all proud to call home

National Updates Ofsted's Sean Harford, (National Director for Education) and Yvette Stanley (National Director for Social Care) have written a useful article about Peer-on-peer abuse. Peer-on-peer abuse happens in a wide-range of settings where children go. It might take place online, for example, in school or in the community. Therefore, training for professionals to help them recognise the signs, and know what to do, is essential. https://educationinspection.blog.gov.uk/2019/10/04/wh at-is-peer-on-peer-abuse/
