The BBC is set to introduce new anti-Semitism awareness training following a string of scandals, The Telegraph understands.

Tim Davie, the director-general, has moved to reassure Jewish members of staff concerned about the corporation’s culture and leadership amid allegations that it is institutionally anti-Semitic.

The BBC has come under fire over “catastrophic failures” that include the broadcasting of Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury set, in which the rapper chanted “death to the IDF”.

It was also criticised for airing a documentary about the war in Gaza that had prominently featured the son of a Hamas official, a family connection not disclosed to viewers at the time.

The BBC’s leadership is planning now to roll out expanded anti-Semitism training. Modules addressing anti-Jewish sentiment are being devised by HR specialists, insiders said.

Managers may be offered further specialist training to help with decision-making around sensitive subjects.
