ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".

Objectives and activities

The charitable objects of the Antisemitism Policy Trust (the "Trust") as approved by the Charity Commission are:-

The main objective of the Trust is to promote racial harmony in society by the elimination of antisemitism.

That objective is achieved through education, advocacy and the organisation of lectures to the community as a whole.

The company is the charitable umbrella supporting the work of (a) the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism, which aims to harness the goodwill of parliamentarians from all parties and both Houses, in the struggle against prejudice and discrimination, and (b) the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Combating Antisemitism, and (c) the secretariat to the Government's independent advisor on antisemitism.

Our objectives and activities fully reflect the purposes that the charity was set up to further. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our objectives and activities and when planning future activities. In the view of the trustees, society as a whole benefits from the charity's activities in promoting racial harmony.

Achievements and performance

2021 was another successful year for the Trust, despite the continuing impact of the Covid pandemic. The continued mission remains to educate and empower parliamentarians, policy makers and opinion formers to address antisemitism.

The three organisations aims are:

  1. Working with British parliamentarians, policy makers and opinion formers to address policy issues related to antisemitism;

2.Providing the secretariat to the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism; and

3.Working internationally with parliamentarians and others to address antisemitism.

ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Aim 1:

Stakeholder Engagement

Work with stakeholders continued to be strong. The Trust met and briefed an average of 74 parliamentarians each quarter. We also continued to engage in ‘casework’ as required, supporting MPs facing abuse or raising concerns about constituency or other matters related to antisemitism.

Media coverage of the Trust’s activities remained steady throughout 2021. Articles by Trust staff appeared in the Times, Grazia, Open Democracy, the Jewish News and the World Advertising Research Centre magazine. We appeared on GB News, Times Radio and a number of podcasts. The Trust was referenced, or our comments cited, in numerous publications covering a range of topics from our ‘WeAreTruthers’ project being reported by online Comedy site Chortle, to discussion of harm in football or on the internet being carried in the Times. We also contributed to educational efforts at City University and Sheffield University towards ensuring emerging journalists have a firm understanding of antisemitism.

The Trust engaged in parliamentary scrutiny processes to a greater extent this year than ever before. We provided briefing materials and policy input for speeches for some six debates throughout the year. The Trust was referenced a number of times, including by the Shadow front bench, and our work informed one Ministerial debate response, and we were mentioned by the Secretary of State for Communities at the Despatch Box. We worked with the Home Affairs, Education and Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Select Committees to provide chairs, members, clerks and others with relevant data and briefings. We submitted evidence to a Home Affairs Committee consultation on Violence Against Women and Girls, to the Petitions Committee (both oral and written), the House of Lords Communications Committee, the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights, the DCMS Committee and the Standards Committee (written and oral). We also supported MPs and Peers from across the political spectrum to table questions on numerous issues. We submitted papers to the Law Commission’s review of Communications Offences (the report on which referenced our evidence), worked extensively to inform discussion of the Online Safety Bill, including providing written and oral evidence to the Joint Scrutiny Committee for the Draft Bill, and similarly engaged with the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill, providing oral evidence to the Public Bill Committee. We not only compiled our own briefing materials but helped to write, review and agree joint briefings or reports with other stakeholders. In addition, we provided written evidence to the Elections Bill Public Bill Committee and to a review of the Computer Misuse Act. We continued to engage with leading figures from across the political parties, with relevant Commissioners and other stakeholders.

Policy and Campaigning Work

The Trust’s focus on policy to address digital harms remained our key focus in 2021, as it had been the previous year. We engaged with numerous Ministers, Shadow Ministers, Parliamentary Select Committees, government officials, MPs, regulators and policy advisers, explaining how antisemitism manifests online and how best to address this. We continued to engage extensively with social media companies, again joining large campaigns on their platforms, and also broadened our wider network of contacts. We developed policy reports on misogyny and the operation of platforms (which were referenced in the House of Commons and in the media), informed a UN advisory note and the Home Office Hate Crime Action Plan, and submitted evidence to consultations from Ofcom (which it later cited), DCMS and the Home Office. We also provided expertise to companies commissioned by Government and regulators to better understand online harms, made submissions to IMPRESS and the British Board of Film Classification as part of their review processes and were twice cited in the Labour Party policy paper ‘Our Digital Future’.

ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

We also continued to work to address antisemitic discourse. Our training package was delivered to electoral hopefuls from one political party (which also referenced the Trust in its internal report on antisemitism), for two MPs (from different parties) and a councillor who had both been accused of engaging in antisemitism, for two major technology companies, a family foundation, and twice for a national regulator. We joined panels for Oxfam, Cambridge, Oxford, Public.io, Renee Casin and the Holocaust Educational Trust amongst others. We were called on to advise football clubs, local councils, law firms, political parties, NGOs, academics, corporations, universities, regulators and unions about antisemitism. We developed briefing materials about conspiracy theories surrounding George Soros, on the definition of antisemitism and on Holocaust Revisionism. We also finalised and distributed six online films which gathered millions of online views and were shared with the Organisation for Security and Co-Operation in Europe. We also developed further online content with TikTok which secured tens of thousands of views. We also ran four virtual and four in-person events this year, with the party conferences resuming and two rounds of our London tour.

Aim 2:

APPG Against Antisemitism

The Trust continued to provide the secretariat to the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism throughout 2021. We were re-appointed as the group secretariat at the APPG AGM which was attended by 15 parliamentarians, and two new members joined the Group. We have since been working to ensure the group remains fully within the relevant rules, completing a rule compliance audit and updating the Memorandum of Understanding between the Trust and the APPG. We organised numerous meetings for the APPG leadership with technology companies this year, to address online antisemitism. We facilitated a briefing event on the topic of online harms and organised the two London tours detailed above.

We continued to support the group leadership, advising on correspondence addressing concerns about antisemitism across political divide, developing briefing papers and assisting with speeches. We advised on comments and articles appearing in the national press. We also supported members of the group in relation to media appearances and worked with the group on a campaign to address concerns about antisemitism on Voicerecognition technology services.

Throughout the year we provided briefing to members of the group, preparing them for various activities or helping them to address concerns about antisemitism within their own parties. We assisted with four articles for the APPG Co-Chairs, helped with Parliamentary Questions and debate contributions, and helped to co-ordinate numerous letters including one which drew the support of 120 parliamentarians from both Houses of Parliament and seven different political parties. A number of these letters gained national press coverage.

Through a full-time secondment, the Trust continues to support the office of Lord Mann as HM Government’s Independent Adviser on Antisemitism. This ranged from working with Lord Mann on developing his priorities and establishing his office in the early part of the year, to supporting his extensive stakeholder relations, public appearance operations, and organising/joining visits. The Trust supported Lord Mann to deliver widespread adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism across sport and the higher education sector and regularly reported to Government about his work. Lord Mann has had numerous meetings with Cabinet Ministers and others, and worked to produce reports on Covid, the so-called ‘Anti-Vaxxer Movement’, and other matters; together with making regular contributions to the House of Lords.

Through a full-time secondment, the Trust continues to support the office of Lord Mann as HM Government’s Independent Adviser on Antisemitism. Lord Mann and his team managed a schedule which saw him hold more than 100 stakeholder meetings across the UK and internationally, meet some 90 higher education institutions and engage in parliamentary and other discussion about the IHRA definition and its use in such settings, attend or speak at more than 40 events, and work with the football industry to see the IHRA definition widely adopted in the UK and overseas. Lord Mann’s travelled overseas and organised a major conference on antisemitism and football in Austria, with significant support from local officials. The Trust continues to support him with casework, correspondence, media comment and reports, including one on alternative media, another on football and a third which is set to review the All-Party Parliamentary Inquiries into Antisemitism.

ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Aim 3:

International

Our international work continued, in 2021, to be diminished in light of the pandemic. We worked with MPs Andrew Percy and Christian Wakeford to assist and support visits to America and Israel respectively. We also helped Mr. Percy with a report for an international parliamentary taskforce on antisemitism that he is a member of. As detailed above, a football conference under the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Combatting Antisemitism banner, amongst others, was held in Austria.

Organisational Development

The Trust continues to operate well within the context of the pandemic. Though operating remotely throughout most of 2021, we continued to meet regularly and engaged in training. We welcomed two new trustees and had a new staff team in place by early in the year. We have begun to make use of new online systems. We continue to distribute regular communications through social media and other channels.

Summary

In 2021, the Trust has secured its place as a centre of policy expertise in relation to antisemitism in the legislative context. It was a stand-out year for engagement in this regard. We are further developing our niche, in respect of training, innovative educational materials an antisemitism educational expertise, in the wider effort to address anti-Jewish racism and can look forward to 2022 which we know will bring further opportunities to make a mark for the Trust.

Plans for Future Periods

The challenge for the Trust, as with so many across Britain, to return to pre-pandemic activity levels is significant. We wish to further develop some of our educational training materials, and to continue to provide educational input to inform legislation.

Financial review

During the year the charity received total income of £333,272 (2020: £356,217). The reserves of the charity at the year end were £94,477 (2020: £52,861). As with last year, the majority of donations received by the charity are from The Pears Family Charitable Foundation.

It is the trustees’ policy to maintain the charity's reserves at a sufficient level to enable it to continue to provide funding for approved projects and working capital requirement for future years.

The charity's policy is to hold any surplus funds in interest-bearing bank accounts.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 8th June 2010. It is registered as a result with the Charity Commission.

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

The trustees, who are also the directors of Antisemitism Policy Trust for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Disclosure of information to auditor

Each of the trustees has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditor is aware of such information.

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Antisemitism Policy Trust (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise of the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST

We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Antisemitism Policy Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 30 City Road, London, EC1Y 2AB. The principal place of business is Haskell House, 152 West End Lane, London, NW6 1SD.

1.1 Accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Charity's major donor The Pears Family Charitable Foundation has pledged its continuing support. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Gifts in kind are recognised at the cost the charity would have had to pay for these gifts.

1.5 Resources expended

All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay.

ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Plant and machinery 25% on a straight line basis

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand.

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through income and expenditure, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected.

If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the charity transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.10 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
