Developing and implementing a programme of initiatives aimed at tackling antisemitism in universities. The cornerstone of this contract will be the development, testing and rollout of a Quality Seal for universities, that will allow universities to demonstrate practical commitment to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, and to the safety and welfare of Jewish staff and students.

Alongside this, the Supplier will also be responsible for the development and implementation of supporting resources, and a research programme.
