Our new policy paper - published today - presents a comprehensive framework to respond to both violent extremism and newer extremism-related threats, such as nihilistic violence.

We detail a cross-government, safeguarding-centric framework to meet this new set of challenges the UK faces.

The 'Lessons for Prevent' report published today by the UK's Interim Independent Prevent Commissioner Lord Anderson gets to the heart of key issues challenging responses to violent extremism in today's shifting threat landscape. ISD is pleased to see our threat analysis & policy reccs reflected.

20 yrs on from the 7/7 bombings, UK counter-terrorism faces a transformed threat landscape, while still operating within a system built for the early 2000s. As non-Islamist cases rise & pressure mounts on Prevent, a rights-based, holistic approach is urgently needed. More in our mini-series 👇
