Early Intervention Hate Crime Officer
Barnet Council is creating two new Early Intervention Hate Crime Officer roles to enhance awareness and reporting, supported by central government funding.
Barnet Council's Safer Communities Partnership Board discussed combating hate crime in September 2026, receiving an update on the council's cohesion work. This initiative, aiming to enhance awareness and reporting of hate crime, has been accelerated by recent incidents and central government funding. As part of this, two new Early Intervention Hate Crime Officer roles are being created.
The creation of these new roles and the wider initiative are bolstered by central government funding awarded from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). This funding is for a two-year period and supports Barnet Council's cross-council efforts to proactively address and prevent hate crime.
