CAA’s Political Investigations team provides evidence of antisemitism in political parties for publication in a project called ‘Antisemitism in Political Parties’ while also providing ongoing stories, and function as a resource to the Comms team and everyone at CAA on politics.
The CAA ‘Antisemitism in Political Parties’ project’s aims are: the publication of evidence of the dissemination of antisemitism by officers of political parties; to maintain and update those cases as a record of antisemitism in political parties for journalists, the Jewish community, academics and the public in general against a clear set of criteria, namely: the IDoA, its methodology, the EHRC’s judgements in their investigation into Labour Antisemitism and a manifesto for political parties.
In that respect, we are seeking someone to take each completed AIPP case and process it as a complaint to the relevant political party or council:
- To establish the complaints process for each political party.
- In the case of the Green Party, to collaborate with a contact who will act as a proxy for the complaint.
- To submit the complaint.
- To monitor and process the political party’s response; and
- To return the party’s response to Rachel/Research assistant.
