Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what due diligence her Department undertakes on projects that receive Prevent strategy funding.

Prevent projects funded by the Home Office are commissioned through local authorities. Local authorities, as the commissioner, are responsible for carrying out due diligence checks. The Home Office funding agreement with local authorities stipulates that a documented due diligence process must be in place and include efforts to understand a delivery partners financial status, viability and capability; technical skills and capacity; operational and commercial processes and procedures; background and history.
