Protective Security for Mosques Scheme

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information is provided to unsuccessful applicants to the Protective Security for Mosques Scheme regarding the reasons for rejection; and whether applicants are informed of the outcome of any threat, risk or vulnerability assessments conducted in relation to their application.

Answered by Home Office

Where an application is unsuccessful, the Home Office notifies the applicant in writing that their application has not satisfied the Scheme’s due diligence requirements, which form part of the standard assessment process for all applicants. These checks are undertaken to ensure that organisations participating in the scheme meet certain standards expected by the Home Office.

Applicants are signposted to the Code of Conduct which provides information about the standards expected by the Home Office and are invited to reapply after reviewing it.
