<p>Since June 2011, Prevent has funded over 180 projects in priority and supported
areas. Around a third of these have focused on schools and supplementary schools –
protecting children from extremism and radicalisation. Local Authority Prevent Co-ordinators
brief head teachers, teachers and safeguarding leads in schools and regularly provide
training to frontline staff.</p><p>There are currently seven local authorities who
have created specific posts dedicated to working with schools funded by the Home Office.
Where these projects have been delivered, areas have reported an increase in teachers’
confidence in identifying and dealing with extremism. The Home Office is working closely
with the Department for Education to keep our approach under review and ensure that
we are doing all we can to safeguard children and young people.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
