	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/05/2019 answer text <p>The Prevent programme is fundamentally about safeguarding and supporting vulnerable individuals to stop them from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Prevent addresses all forms of terrorism, including right wing terrorism.</p><p>Since 2012, over 1,300 people have been supported through the voluntary, confidential Channel programme. In 2017/18, almost half of those people who received Channel support were initially referred for concerns related to right-wing extremism. The majority of the individuals who choose to participate in Channel leave with no further terrorism-related concerns. The Channel programme continues to expand its cohort of right wing specialist intervention providers that provide bespoke intervention sessions with individuals that have been identified as being vulnerable to being radicalised by far-right organisations and their narratives.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 29/05/2019 11:59:03 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/05/2019 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) works closely with a range of partners to tackle extremism of all ideologies in prisons, including ideologies held by far-right offenders. An HMPPS and Home Office Joint Extremism Unit (JEXU) was established in April 2017 to be the strategic centre for all counter terrorism work in prison and probation and have oversight of delivery across the end-to-end offender management process.</p><p> </p><p>Prisoners identified as being of extremist concern, or who have shown signs of being vulnerable to extremism, are managed actively as part of a comprehensive case management process. Over 22,000 prison staff have received specialist extremism awareness training, to enable them to identify, report and challenge extremist views.</p><p> </p><p>HMPPS uses a wide range of interventions as part of its management of extremist offenders in prison. These range from assessment tools, such as the Extremism Risk Guidance 22+ and Extremism Risk Screening, to rehabilitative measures such as the Healthy Identity Intervention, Developing Dialogues, and the Desistance and Disengagement Programme. Interventions play an important role in helping to encourage and facilitate desistance and disengagement from extremism, support reintegration into society, and reduce the risk of further offending. All of these interventions are available to far-right offenders, if required.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 29/05/2019 16:21:05 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/05/2019 answer text <p>The Department keeps delivery progress in constant review. ECO3 is a three and a half year scheme and obligated suppliers may deliver the obligation at any time during the obligation period. Historically, delivery has been low at the start of each scheme while suppliers end one obligation period and start to build up momentum under the new scheme rules.</p><p>The scheme allows participating Local Authorities to determine eligibility and refer households to obligated suppliers, and in those cases removing the need for suppliers to target eligible households. This is a voluntary mechanism for suppliers to use, and it equates to up to 25% of ECO.</p><p>The regulations have been in force for less than six months, and there is time for suppliers to increase delivery rate up to the end of the scheme in March 2022.</p><p>Almost 2.5m insulation, heating and other measures have been delivered since ECO began in 2013. Of those 66% were for insulation. Under ECO3, so far over 54k measures have been installed. Of those, 55% were for insulation.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 28/05/2019 11:41:58 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
