Speaking to Sky News, Sir David argued that broadly committing to oppose racism or prejudice had failed to single out antisemitism as a specific category of hatred.
“We do need to name antisemitism as a particular kind of prejudice and hate, because I think if you don’t name it, you don’t actually know what you’re tackling,” he said.
The review calls on schools to ensure their staff conduct policies explicitly state that antisemitism will not be tolerated.
Where pupils are targeted, Sir David said, institutions must have “robust reporting and response mechanisms” in place.
