Summary
Local communities working in partnership with their local authorities, police, education institutions, and others are at the heart of stopping people becoming or supporting violent extremists. The Government has produced detailed guidance to assist those organisations in their work. The guidance includes information on successful projects already underway that have been funded under the £6m pathfinder funding in 2007-08 and is supported by activity and funding from across government. This includes £12.5m to be spent to counter violent extremism and identify and support those individuals at risk across a range of key sectors, including in prisons, among youth offenders, and through community and police led projects.
This work compliments the action that the security agencies are taking to disrupt those who represent an imminent threat. Along with The Prevent Strategy: Stopping People Becoming or Supporting Terrorists and Violent Extremism, a Guide for Local Partners, we are also publishing Preventing Violent Extremism: A Strategy for Delivery, which summarises the strategic framework and key priorities.
This strategy outlines how we are responding to a range of factors that can draw people into violent extremism or pull people away from it, based around five key objectives: challenging the violent extremist ideology and supporting mainstream voices; disrupting those who promote violent extremism and supporting the institutions where they are active; supporting individuals who are being targeted and recruited to the cause of violent extremism; Increasing the resilience of communities to violent extremism; addressing the grievances which ideologues are exploiting.
