CSP condemns reported homophobic attack We are deeply concerned by reports of an attack in Bristol, in which a man has been left in a critical condition following a serious assault that police are investigating as a hate crime. Our thoughts are with the individual affected, their loved ones, and the wider LGBTQIA+ community. No one should face violence, intimidation or harm because of who they are. The CSP stands in clear and unequivocal solidarity with all our members and communities who experience discrimination, harassment or hate. We recognise that homophobia does not exist in isolation. There are close and often overlapping links between all forms of discriminatory hate, including racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia and other forms of prejudice. These harms are interconnected and so too must be our response. We stand in lock step with any member experiencing any form of hate or exclusion. Whether this occurs in the workplace, in public spaces, or within the communities we serve, it is unacceptable and must be challenged. We will continue to support our members, advocate for safer and more inclusive environments, and work alongside partners and stakeholders to address the wider structural and societal drivers of discrimination. There is no place for hate in our society, our services, or our profession. csp.org.uk/news/2026-05-0…
