Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what criteria his Department uses for the allocation of funding under the Prevent programme.

Prevent funding is prioritised based on threat and risk across the country where we assess the risk of radicalisation to be highest.

A number of factors, including local and national intelligence / information, the number of TACT arrests and disrupted plots, as well as Channel referral data, are used to help determine the locations where the threat from terrorism and radicalisation is greatest.

Each priority area receives funding for a dedicated Prevent Coordinator and for civil society organisations to deliver campaigns and activity that counter terrorist narratives and build resilience in communities against radicalisation. We do not provide detailed information about the funding allocation of local Prevent projects by area.
