The Sussex Domestic Abuse Partnership Board has opened a survey to find out how well domestic abuse is understood, how much residents know about the support services on offer and how well services are serving local communities. Responses to the survey will go towards updating the strategy for 2024 - 2027.

A hate incident is any incident which the victim, or anyone else, thinks is based on someone’s prejudice towards them because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or because they are transgender.
Evidence of the hate element is not a requirement. You do not need to personally perceive the incident to be hate related. It would be enough if another person, a witness or even a police officer thought that the incident was hate related.
