Question to the Home Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many people have taken the Prevent refresher awareness course.
Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)
As of the 31 May 2025, the Prevent Refresher Awareness course has been completed 397,236 times. The total number of completions across the four Prevent duty training courses from August 2022 to the end of May 2025 is 2.3 million.
Prevent training products are regularly updated to ensure they reflect the latest threat from terrorism and their content is kept under continuous review.
By understanding the risk, as well as how to raise a concern, those under the Prevent duty play a key role in ensuring that people who are at risk of being radicalised can be diverted away from terrorism.
Asked by: Lord Young of Acton (Conservative - Life peer)
Question to the Home Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government, following Non-Crime Hate Incidents: Code of Practice on the Recording and Retention of Personal Data, published in June 2023, whether police forces in (1) England, and (2) Wales, have deleted historic non-crime hate incidents recorded in relation to the behaviour of under18-year-olds before the new Code of Practice was introduced in June 2023, given the higher standards for collection and retention with respect to children in the new guidance.
Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)
The Home Office does not currently collate data on the number of non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs). This data should be held at a force level.
The Non-Crime Hate Incidents Code of Practice already makes clear that where incidents are reported in schools or between school-aged children, an NCHI record “should not be made on policing systems, and the personal data of the subject should not be recorded”.
The Home Office has agreed that the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), supported by the College of Policing, will conduct a review on the use and effectiveness of NCHIs, including looking at the relevant force-level data.
