The BBC has mandated anti-discrimination training for all staff, starting with modules on antisemitism and Islamophobia, as part of efforts to address internal and external criticism over its handling of these issues. Outgoing Director-General Tim Davie emphasized the importance of fostering an inclusive workplace and said the antisemitism module is available immediately, with the Islamophobia module to follow. The decision comes after over 200 Jewish staff and contributors accused the BBC of failing to address alleged antisemitism within the organization, prompting calls for cultural change from Jewish community leaders. The BBC has faced a series of controversies related to its coverage of Israel and the Middle East, leading to public apologies and further scrutiny of its editorial practices.
