Violent Extremism

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what progress has been made in engaging young people to make communities more resilient against violent extremism.
Answer

We are engaging with young Muslims in many ways. As well as funding a range of projects nationally and locally to help young people become more resilient to violent extremism, last week, we launched the Young Muslims Advisory Group. This group of 22 young Muslims, aged 16 to 25, will advise Government on a variety of issues.
