JLC responds to Integrated Communities Strategy green paper
The Jewish Leadership Council (JLC) has responded to the government’s Integrated Communities Strategy green paper by submitting a formal response to the consultation.
The Integrated Communities Strategy green paper, released in March 2018 in response to the Casey Review is the government’s vision for “building strong integrated communities where people live, work, learn and socialise together, based on shared rights, responsibilities and opportunities”.
The green paper sets out a programme of proposed actions to take across government to deliver the vision at the local and national level.
The JLC has submitted a response which includes programmes and activities of its member organisations and other responses from communal organisations who they work with. The submission includes best practice examples but also highlights where the JLC supports or rejects certain policies.

Commission on Provision for Young People in the Jewish Community
The Commission, which was chaired by Jeremy Isaacs, met between April 2013 and December 2013. The Commission set out to understand as a community how we are supporting our young people on their Jewish journeys. Focusing on Jewish identity, participation in the community, and engagement with Israel, the Commission explored opportunities and challenges facing young people today. The work was jointly commissioned by UJIA and the JLC, and led by Dr. Helena Miller, Director of Research, Evaluation and Community Israel Engagement at UJIA. The seventeen independent Commissioners came from across the community spectrum and offered a wide range of skills and experiences.
