The claim that "the government is providing greater security at schools and synagogues" is strongly supported by multiple official UK government announcements made before the speech date of 3 June 2026. **Key evidence:** 1. **October 2025**: The Prime Minister announced record funding (£10 million) to ramp up security around synagogues and Jewish schools, including CCTV, alarms, floodlights, and security staff, administered through the Community Security Trust. The announcement also noted that local police forces had stepped up patrols in at-risk areas. 2. **February 2026**: The government announced up to £73.4 million in funding for 2026–27 for protective security at Jewish, Muslim, and other faith sites, including up to £28.4 million through the Jewish Community Protective Security Grant for synagogues, Jewish schools, and community centres. 3. **A £251 million policing package** over three years was announced, funding 500 additional officers across England and Wales, explicitly "boosting security in Jewish neighbourhoods and around schools, synagogues and community centres." This included £86 million for the Metropolitan Police (300 additional officers), £22 million for Greater Manchester Police, and £43 million for seven other force areas. 4. **£5 million in new funding** was allocated to expand Project Servator specialist patrols in London and Manchester, with officers regularly deploying in and around faith communities. 5. **£32.4 million** was confirmed for 2026–27 for protective security at Jewish sites including synagogues, schools, and community centres. All of these measures were announced before the speech date and directly confirm that the government is providing greater security (both physical security measures and increased police patrols) at schools and synagogues, particularly Jewish ones.
