At the Five Country Ministerial in Sydney, August 2026, Five Eyes partners agreed to the Home Office proposal to establish a Countering Violent Extremism Hub in London. This was agreed as a practical way to strengthen our existing cooperation on shared countering violent extremism challenges. The detailed design of the Hub is now being developed with Five Eyes partners, including its Terms of Reference.
The Home Office also announced the development of a new online interventions programme, beginning with a pilot to develop and test a rights-compliant, safeguarding-led approach to identifying and supporting individuals vulnerable to online radicalisation at an earlier stage. The detailed design of the programme remains under development. Decisions on matters such as consultation, publication of programme documentation and any longer-term delivery arrangements will be considered as that work progresses

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of not including grassroots and community sports clubs in the bodies subject to The Prevent Duty.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of not including grassroots and community sports clubs in the bodies subject to The Prevent Duty.
The Prevent duty applies to specified authorities including local authorities, education, health, police, and criminal justice agencies. Whilst no formal assessment of applying the duty to grassroots and community sports clubs has been made, this is not required for such organisations to work with Prevent in stopping people from becoming involved in, or supporting, terrorism.
Prevent statutory guidance can be used to inform best practice in sectors that are not specified authorities. The Home Office also has a central fund, the Preventing Radicalisation Fund (PRF), to support project delivery. This initiative has established a catalogue of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), including community and grassroots sports clubs that have a track record in implementing Prevent-relevant projects, which aim to reduce the risk of radicalisation at a local level. There are currently 70 CSOs on the PRF framework, of which 4 are sports clubs but this initiative would be open to any local grassroots organisations to join. The Home Office funded 93 projects for the financial year 2025/2026.
Anyone, including staff or volunteers at grassroots and community sports clubs, can make a Prevent referral if they are concerned that someone is at risk of becoming radicalised. These concerns can be raised with Counter Terrorism Policing via the 24/7 Act Early support line on 0800 011 3764. Further information is available at www.actearly.uk/contact.
Where there is an immediate risk of harm or danger to life, emergency services should be contacted via 999.

To ask His Majesty's Government why the Prevent programme is not applicable to Northern Ireland; and what plans they have to extend it to there.
To ask His Majesty's Government why the Prevent programme is not applicable to Northern Ireland; and what plans they have to extend it to there.
Prevent is part of CONTEST, the UK’s counter-terrorism strategy, which aims to reduce the risk from terrorism to the UK, its citizens and interests overseas. CONTEST addresses all forms of terrorism affecting the UK, except Northern Ireland-related terrorism (NIRT) in Northern Ireland, which is the responsibility of the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland given the particular security context in Northern Ireland.
The Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015 placed Prevent on a statutory footing across Great Britain, and the Government keeps all aspects of counter-terrorism policy under review and continues to work closely with partners across the UK, including in Northern Ireland, to manage the threat from terrorism and support public safety.
Most recently, Youth Diversion Orders (YDOs), introduced in the Crime & Policing Bill, will offer a new counter-terrorism tool for police to manage the risks posed by young people involved in terrorism-related activity, including online. The new legislation will apply across the whole of the UK. Furthermore, alongside the Online Safety Act, the Home Office works to influence industry partners to increase action to tackle online content used to radicalise, recruit and incite terrorism by providing threat assessment, insight and support.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of polygraph testing as a tool for assessing and managing the risk posed by terrorist-connected offenders.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of polygraph testing as a tool for assessing and managing the risk posed by terrorist-connected offenders.
Following release from prison, terrorist and terrorist-connected offenders are subject to robust risk management arrangements and stringent licence conditions which can include electronic monitoring, residence in Approved Premises and, where eligible, polygraph testing.
The Government commissioned a process evaluation to review the use and operation of the polygraph licence condition on offenders convicted of a relevant terrorist or terrorist-connected offence. Published in October 2023, the review found that polygraph testing had become well-embedded in operational practice and was viewed by stakeholders as an effective risk management tool. The evaluation concluded that polygraph testing can provide probation practitioners with risk information they otherwise would not have had, contribute to assessments of compliance, and support further investigative and risk management activity.
The process evaluation can be found here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/652d3ed0d86b1b000d3a4fdc/use-operation-counter-terrorism-polygraph-examination.pdf.
