This question was answered on 12th September 2017
DCMS is aware of examples which suggest that youth services can be part of combating radicalisation. For example, Active Change Foundation Ltd, one of the organisations being funded through the Youth Investment Fund, is working with young leaders to give them the skills they need to lead change in their communities. Stopping extremist recruitment is one of the areas of focus for this project.
