Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the answer of 7 September 2026 to Question 20231 on Students: Community Relations, what assessment has been made of whether the NUS is continuing to campaign against the Government’s Prevent programme, including its Students Not Suspects campaign.

The department is partnering with NUS and the University of Salford to develop a national community cohesion framework for students at colleges, universities and in student unions.

Higher education providers remain subject to their statutory Prevent duty under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, which is important to safeguard students from radicalisation, and no changes to the Prevent duty are planned.
