Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to roll out the Prevent initiative to raise awareness of far-right extremism in schools.

Since July 2015, specified authorities, including schools, childcare providers, colleges and universities are required under the Prevent duty to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. The Prevent duty guidance makes clear that the duty is intended to address all forms of extremism and terrorism, including Far Right.

The Government provides a range of support to schools to implement the duty. For example, the Prevent e-learning package includes examples of Far Right extremism, and our Educate Against Hate website for teachers includes lesson plans to support discussion about far right extremism in the classroom.
