I am the Director of Bradford Hate Crime Alliance (BHCA), my role is to ensure that there is a robust partnership in place to address hate crime and hate crime reporting across the district.
I have a master’s degree in diversity management. Much of his work and experience addresses complex equality and diversity issues that impact on individuals, communities, and organisations,
I love working on and developing approaches that enable leaders to better understand the needs of the people they serve.
Our core priorities are:-
- Preventing hate crime by dealing with the beliefs and attitudes that can lead to hate crime.
- Responding to hate crime in our communities with the aim of reducing the number of hate crime incidents.
- Increasing the reporting of hate crime.

My qualifications include a degree in psychology and education, RSA certificate in counselling skills and a diploma in management studies.
I have been a part-time support worker with this project since it’s inception in 2016. I had previously worked in the supported housing sector for over twenty years, supporting marginalised young people.
I currently provide one-to-one support to young people who are felt to be at risk of radicalisation, offering a non-judgemental space in which to explore difficult issues, using active listening, empathy and a calm, patient approach to build trusting relationships.
Along with my colleagues I also provide educational and informational sessions for young people, parents and professionals
I joined BHCA in May 2021 after a long period of working with families affected by mental health. I graduated from Huddersfield University in 2013 and left with a degree in Behavioural Science.
I have since furthered my education achieving a level 2 in counselling and extra training in coaching. As part of the community support team my role involves much more than simply providing support.
My main role is to provide one-to-one support for young people who are at risk of radicalisation. I facilitate a safe, non-judgmental space for clients with the aim of creating a lasting, trusting bond. Using developed skills such as empathy and active listening I try to enhance engagement and make a real impact with my work.
I also provide awareness sessions and spend time ensuring my information and knowledge is current as my area of work is constantly evolving.
I’m Frazer and I joined the team as hate crime co-ordinator in October 2021 following a lengthy career in the arts as a performer and educator. Since joining, I have re-established the network of reporting centres across the Bradford district, as well as recruited new organisations, with the aim of continually developing a more inclusive community representation.
Borrowing from my previous career and experiences, I have established new approaches to hate crime awareness building, including the development of bespoke educational packages for schools and community organisations.
Most recently I have been involved in launching and hosting the BHCA podcast, “A Series of Difficult Conversations,” which will feature in-depth discussions and shared experiences, as well as an educational hate crime awareness series aimed at empowering the victims of hate crime to come forward and report them.
