Mate crime is a form of disability hate crime.

It happens when someone deliberately befriends a vulnerable or disabled person for the sole purpose of exploiting, abusing or taking advantage of them.

Perpetrators typically prey upon people with learning and physical difficulties, those with mental health or substance abuse issues, and older people.

This session shines a light on the complexities of Mate crime and who it impacts, enabling you to help and support through effective signposting.

Target audience : Open to all staff
