Home Office written question – answered at on 23 January 2024.
Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb

To ask His Majesty's Government what guidance they are providing for Prevent practitioners on the circumstances under which they are required to refer an individual involved in human rights, social justice or environmental activism who is not expressing support for violence.
Lord Sharpe of Epsom
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department
Prevent practitioners should follow the Prevent duty guidance. Free training is available on gov.uk which includes the notice, check, share procedure. Practitioners should consider whether they believe the person may be on a pathway that could lead to terrorism. Those with specific Prevent responsibilities are expected to have a good understanding of extremist ideologies as a key driver of radicalisation and should complete any required ideology training.
