In response to a significant rise in antisemitic incidents during 2024, the Department for Education has announced £7 million in funding to tackle antisemitism in educational institutions.

The funding will aim to educate people about antisemitism and better equip schools, colleges and universities to stop antisemitic abuse.

Some funds will be allocated to upskilling teachers and university staff in addressing antisemitism. The funding will also support an innovation fund to tackle antisemitism in education, with a slightly broader focus on settings building resilience to misinformation.

Of the total funding, £500,000 has been awarded to the University Jewish Chaplaincy to provide welfare support for Jewish students in universities.

Further details will be provided in due course.
