What does HALT do?

The Team has been running a campaign to encourage more people to report homophobic, biphobic and transphobic incidents (to find out more about how to report homophobic, biphobic or transphobic incidents please see Reporting homophobic incidents). They have produced reporting cards and posters which have been distributed directly to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community at outreach evenings and the Oxford Pride event. HALT has also helped to broker the provision of LGB awareness training for key teams in a number of local Councils (including the Vale of White Horse District Council).
