Antisemitism in Local Authorities

Waverley Borough Council

International Definition of Antisemitism

The Council has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism in full, including all of its examples.

The Definition was adopted on 9th June 2020.

This information was obtained after Campaign Against Antisemitism submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 on 14th August 2021, to which the Council responded on 13th September 2021.

As part of its response, the Council provided its Safeguarding Policy for Children and Adults at Risk and minutes of a Council meeting on 9th June 2020, which show that the Definition was adopted.

Incidents

No incidents relating to the Council’s officials or councillors have been reported to us, however we recognise that antisemitism is chronically underreported and it is possible that there are incidents that have not been reported. To report an incident, please contact us.
