A 14-year-old girl is threatening the College of Policing with legal action over its guidance on ‘hate incidents’ in schools.
‘Non-crime hate incidents’ are recorded by the police when a complaint is made by someone who alleges a hate crime has taken place, and are based on the perception of a victim or others, not on evidence. These differ from hate crime offences because no actual crime has been committed.
Police investigating such incidents in schools are told in guidance to keep records of such complaints, even when the incident does not meet the threshold for criminal charges. But the schoolgirl, known in legal documents as Miss B, says this should not be happening and has threatened a judicial review.
