Q3 - What factors have been taken into account when deciding the policing strategies for these marches. And whether social cohesion has been taken into account and the public sector equality duty?

The policing strategy for these protests is not fixed and varies over time. However, considering the community impact has been a consistent feature of the policing strategy.

Q4 - Which Jewish groups and networks have you engaged with when deciding your strategies?

We do not engage with “groups” – we engage with individual members of the community.
