Schools and colleges in England will be required to recognise antisemitism as a distinct category of harm and take explicit action against it following a major review, the BBC understands.

It means anti-Jewish hatred would be treated as a specific safeguarding risk rather than being dealt with through existing measures to stop racism and bullying.

The government-commissioned review into antisemitism in education is also expected to recommend dedicated training for teachers, more consistent recording and reporting of incidents, and better education about antisemitism and modern-day Jewish life.
