Since 2019, UJS have delivered over 500 sessions of antisemitism awareness training to thousands of Students' Union staff, student leaders, and university staff, in order to equip them with the knowledge and skills to call out antisemitism on campus and support their Jewish students. UJS is continuing to expand its delivery of the training, increasing it every year, particularly in the wake of October 7th and the increase in antisemitism that followed.

In 2025, UJS was awarded a grant by the Department for Education to promote training to universities as part of the wider 'Tackling Antisemitism in Education' programme. As a result, this FREE training can now be offered to all universities, in person, multiple times a year. The training is delivered by experienced antisemitism awareness trainers. 

The in-person training involves a two-hour session covering:

• The British Jewish community
• Historical and Contemporary antisemitism
• Antisemitism and Israel
• Practical and concrete steps you can do to help

The training is open to all university leaders - vice chancellors, EDI staff, security, accommodation staff, welfare staff and anyone else who is in contact with students. It is also available to Student Union leaders and staff and all trainings can be adapted to the university and group that is attending.

Feedback from a participant:

‘It was an excellent session. It really opened my eyes to the subtle ways antisemitism is still worming its way through society. I talked about it to a good number of friends and colleagues afterwards, and I would really recommend this to anyone and everyone. '
