The violent disorders we witnessed across the country last summer were a stark reminder of the rise in far-right aggression, fuelled by global political narratives that continue to embolden these dangerous ideologies. Over three decades ago, those responsible for the tragic murder of Stephen Lawrence were driven by the same racist beliefs. Despite the efforts to educate, inform and change cultures, far-right movements remain a real and growing threat to our communities.
This conference will bring together powerful voices and insightful discussions to explore the ongoing impact of these movements. Most importantly, it will challenge us, as members of policing, to better understand our role in bringing about unity and breaking down division.
If you do book and later find yourself unable to attend, please kindly cancel your place by emailing me directly at farhan.hayat@surrey.police.uk, so we can offer the spot to someone else.
We look forward to seeing you on the day for what will be a vital, timely, and powerful conversation.
