Jews: Safety

Asked by Sir Oliver DowdenConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 5 August 2024UIN 1930

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help ensure the safety of Jewish communities.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Jewish Community Protective Security (JCPS) Grant provides protective security measures (such as security personnel services, CCTV and alarm systems) at synagogues, Jewish educational establishments and community sites. The JCPS Grant is managed on behalf of the Home Office by the Community Security Trust.

The Community Security Trust will receive funding of £18 million per year through the Jewish Community Protective Security Grant from 2024/25 to 2027/28.

We continue to work closely with CST on how best to respond to live incidents that affect the Jewish communities in the UK.
