Commission for Countering Extremism

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Commissioner for Countering Extremism plans to review (a) teaching material for Prevent and (b) all material on gov.uk.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

Prevent training is vital for ensuring that frontline staff subject to the Prevent Duty know how to spot the signs of radicalisation and get support.

The Prevent Duty training services are continually reviewed in collaboration with relevant cross-government partners. The Commission for Countering Extremism provide expert input and advice into the development of all Prevent training products.

The Home Office also ensures that training aligns with the government’s counter-terrorism strategy CONTEST 2023, the recommendations made in the Independent Review of Prevent and the updated Prevent Duty Guidance. All these inputs are reflected in the Prevent Duty GOV.UK training, and in Home Office-issued Prevent face-to-face training products.

We remain committed to continuously improving and updating these training resources to ensure they reflect the terrorist threat.
