The cross-government working group on antisemitism convened with a special focus on university campuses and what progress was being made to deal with hate crime and hate speech. The National Union of Students, Universities UK and the Union of Jewish Students all gave interesting presentations. The key themes that emerged from the meeting were the need for strong sector leadership, effective training following any guidance issued and the implementation of systems styled on good practice. Specific actions were agreed which will be monitored by the group.
Other issues raised included the procedures for the working group to report its progress to Parliament.
