Labour is to unveil the party’s ‘action plan’ in response to the recommendations  of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) report into antisemitism at a meeting of its ruling national executive committee (NEC) on Monday.

The JC understands that Labour’s action plan takes on board the 18 key recommendations of the damning EHRC report – including the setting up of an independent complaints process to handle  allegations of antisemitism, other forms of discrimination and bullying.

The party were given a 10 December deadline to produce a draft action plan in response to the findings and recommendations of the report released by the equality body.

Labour’s 39 person NEC  will also be introduced to Jane Ramsey, an “expert on standards in public and political life”, who will  lead on the establishment of the  new independent complaints process for internal disciplinary matters.
