Motion NDM6530 as amended:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes the progress made in relation to the Welsh Government's Tackling Hate Crime Framework as a result of work involving a wide range of partners across Wales.

2. Notes that, although there has been a steady increase in the overall recording of hate crime, the charity Victim Support has said that more needs to be done to encourage victims to come forward.

3. Welcomes the UK Government's new social media code of practice that will ensure a joined-up approach to remove or address bullying, intimidating or humiliating online content.

4. Supports calls for crimes committed against older people because of their age to be recognised as hate crimes.

5. Calls on the Welsh Government to tackle the radicalisation of white men into far-right groups and noting recent terrorist activity committed by the far right.

6. Calls on the Welsh Government to improve community cohesion following terrorist incidents as this is when hate crime against Muslims tends to rise.
