What is prevent?
In response to the threat of terrorism, the government has

supporting violent extremists. It aims to do this by:
- Challenging violent extremist’s ideology and supporting
mainstream voices.

the institutions where they are active.
- Supporting Individuals who are being targeted and recruited to
the cause of violent extremism.
- Increasing the resilience of communities to violent extremism,
and
- Addressing the grievances that can be exploited.
