This government is committed to stamping out antisemitism wherever, and however, it manifests. We have taken several significant steps to combat antisemitism across all corners of British life.
We have prioritised interventions in the following areas:
- Security: providing better support to ensure the safety and security of Jewish communities
- Education: tackling antisemitism in schools, colleges, and universities and ensuring that we raise children and young people who embrace people from all backgrounds and faiths
- Institutional action: tackling antisemitism in key institutions, particularly the NHS, and the culture, sport and voluntary sectors
Alongside further work on antisemitism, we will set out in the new year a wider action plan to improve social cohesion and to counter extremism across the board. This will address the deeper drivers of hate and prejudice within the UK.
