Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what criteria are used to evaluate the effectiveness of Prevent Strategy training.

The Government has developed a dual approach to assessing the effectiveness of initiatives funded by the Prevent strategy. It is based on comprehensive monitoring systems which track outcomes over time and robust evaluation techniques that assess effectiveness.

Over 850,000 frontline staff have received training on spotting signs of radicalisation and feedback from those who have attended WRAP training shows that 90% of attendees rated their understanding of how people can be influenced or radicalised as “good” or “excellent” following the training.
