## Summary

Oscar-winning producer Lucie Kon says the BBC paid her £400,000 after she raised concerns about antisemitic remarks by colleagues following the 7 October attacks. Her commissioning editor role was later made redundant during a restructure, and she says the payment covered redundancy back pay and a settlement for personal injury caused by the process.

The BBC said it did not uphold the antisemitism allegations, but accepted there were shortcomings in its treatment of Kon that had a personal impact on her, without specifying what they were. Kon said she raised concerns with senior management and helped lead a group representing Jewish staff; she also said the BBC was not institutionally antisemitic. She worked on several documentaries, including *Mr Nobody Against Putin*.
