Anti-Muslim Hatred Working Group (closed)

The Working Group was established to consider and take forward proposals to tackle anti-Muslim hatred. The Working Group was the government’s main forum for discussing issues of concern with Muslim stakeholders and the communities whose interests they represent and convey. It played a valuable role in both disseminating and providing feedback on key policy messages and approaches.

This group is no longer active. You may be interested in the Working Group on Anti-Muslim Hatred/Islamophobia Definition.
