Local authorities are instrumental in preventing people being drawn into terrorism. We focus activity in 30 priority areas identified as highest risk.
Each priority area receives funding for a Prevent coordinator and can bid for funding for local projects to address specific risks. An additional seven areas currently receive support from Home Office to undertake Prevent initiatives. Over 180 community-based Prevent projects have been approved since 2011 and have reached over 45,000 people since early 2012. We are currently supporting over 70 projects, all of which focus on the current threat, including Syria and Iraq. Projects include training for frontline staff, courses equipping parents to identify risks and have the confidence to seek support should they need it, and training on the dangers of online extremism.
