Freedom of Information request - Disability hate crime response
Dear Somerset County Council,
I have gathered media reports about attacks and murders of
disabled people in different regions.
Your area has significant news articles about such attacks which
includes 13 on disabled people over last two years.
I would like to know what work you are doing, or planning to do, to
respond to this issue under your legal duties under the DDA and
Human Rights legislation to eliminate harassment against disabled
people and the human right to live free from such attacks and have
such attacks addressed by public bodies?
Could you send me any plans you have plus your Disability equality
scheme which details your proposed actions under your duty to
eliminate harassment against disabled people please?
As any details of attacks which get to the media are few I would
also like any records you have of crimes of hostility against
disabled people.
Yours faithfully,
A. Novis
