Section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 places a duty on certain bodies (including the local authority), in the exercise of their functions, to have “due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”. This is known as the Prevent Duty. In complying with the Prevent Duty, there is an expectation that local authorities ensure that our venues and resources do not provide a platform for extremists and are not used to disseminate extremist views.

The Government have defined extremism as

vocal or active opposition to our fundamental values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. We also include in our definition of extremism calls for the death of members of our armed forces
