Labour responsible for unlawful acts of
discrimination and harassment - EHRC
An investigation into the Labour Party by the
Equalities Watchdog has found it was responsible for unlawful acts of
harassment and discrimination.
The party
is responsible for three breaches of the Equality Act (2010) relating to:
- Political interference in antisemitism complaints.
- Failure to provide adequate training to those handling antisemitism complaints.
- Harassment
A report
just published by the Equality and Human Rights Commission identified what it
described as “serious failings in the Labour Party leadership in addressing
antisemitism and an inadequate process for handling antisemitism complaints.”
The EHRC
said its analysis “points to a culture within the Party which, at best, did not
do enough to prevent antisemitism and, at worst, could be seen to accept it.”
This is in
direct contrast to the comprehensive guidance and training in place to handle
sexual harassment complaints that demonstrates the Party’s ability to act
decisively when it needs to, indicating that antisemitism could have been
tackled more effectively.
