The Home Office collects and publishes data on the number of hate crime offences recorded by the police in England and Wales, including a breakdown of those motivated by hatred of the racial, sexual orientation or transgender background of victims. The latest ‘Hate Crime, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin is available here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hate-crime-england-and-wales-2018-to-2019

However, from the information we hold it is not possible to identify the number of instances of hate crime, serious violence or malicious communications directed specifically at BAME LGBTQ+ youth or trans youth.
