The final session is in a format of structured discussion on the following 3 issues in which the Judge would like to listen to the BME community:

2. What kind of hate crime law do we need to tackle the racist hate crime and hate speech in Northern Ireland?
3. How far could we (the community) refer victim of racist hate crime and hate speech to Bilingual Advocate Support Scheme?
