The independent review into antisemitism in schools and colleges in England, led by Sir David Bell, has been published. It examines how well schools and colleges identify, prevent and respond to antisemitism, and makes 27 recommendations to the DfE and sector leaders. It also covers other forms of racial and religious prejudice.
Some of the evidence it reports:
▪️ 20% of 16 to 18-year-old UCAS applicants surveyed had experienced or witnessed antisemitism*
▪️ Roughly half of them said it wasn’t reported, mainly because they felt it wasn’t serious enough or wouldn’t be taken seriously
▪️ 74% of professionals responding to the call for evidence** said they were confident addressing antisemitism, yet the review found this doesn’t consistently translate into good outcomes for victims, and that coded or indirect antisemitism can go unrecognised
▪️ Only 9% of those professionals** reported being offered training specifically on antisemitism
