Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that the Prevent strategy does not unfairly target racial and religious minorities.
This question was answered on 6th February 2020
The Prevent programme is fundamentally about safeguarding and supporting vulnerable individuals to stop them from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.
Prevent is about safeguarding people who are at risk of radicalisation. Prevent does not target a specific faith or ethnic group - it deals with all forms of extremism.
