Starmer orders mandatory antisemitism training for NHS staff
The review targets unaddressed antisemitism within the NHS amid near-record antisemitic hate crimes, supported by a £10 million security boost for Jewish sites, officials said.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer ordered a review of antisemitism in the NHS and appointed Lord John Mann to lead it, funding a 10 million boost for security at synagogues and Jewish schools.
- After Home Office figures released last week showing antisemitic hate crime remains near record levels, the measures follow the terrorist attack at Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester on October 2 that left two men dead.
- A July review by Lord John Mann and Dame Penny Mordaunt warned of rising antisemitism and criticised universities for slow responses, with the University of Oxford suspending a student on Wednesday after an arrest.
- Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said she is reviewing protest legislation and will provide additional police protection outside synagogues and other locations, while Mark Gardner, chief executive of the Community Security Trust , called the meeting `very straightforward and very productive`.
- The Government said it will also look at support for Muslim communities after hate crime increased over the past year, and Sir Keir Starmer emphasized that `words are not enough, action is what matters`.
