Hates crimes against children have risen by 14 per cent in the last year, according to new figures released by the UK's leading children's charity.
The NSPCC said that calls to its Childline service spiked in the wake of prominent terrorist attacks. Children who called the 24/7 helpline said they had been driven to self-harm by the abuse, which included physical and verbal attacks as well as cyberbullying.
In all, 5,349 offences against under-18s were logged in 2016/17 which had religious, race or faith-based undertones. The data, obtained from 41 UK police forces through Freedom of Information Requests, represented a significant jump from 4,695 in the previous year.
