Lodged by John Finnie Ind Lodged 16 Mar 2016 15 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes the programme of LGBTI hate crime awareness training delivered by the Equality Network to police officers across Scotland on behalf of the Equality and Human Rights Commission; welcomes the creation of over 60 Police Scotland LGBTI liaison officers as a result of this training; commends the commitment of Police Scotland to supporting LGBTI people; believes that this sends a message to society that LGBTI hate crime is completely unacceptable and is taken seriously by the Parliament, the police and the Crown Office, and further welcomes the ongoing work by the Equality Network to encourage LGBTI people to recognise hate crime when it occurs, report it to the police and get support if they need it.
