Since the programme’s launch in 2016 it has supported over 240 civil society organisations, in the 2019/20 funding round for BSBT 28% of groups were actively tackling far right extremism, a rise of 20% compared to the programme’s first year.</p><p>As part of our ongoing commitment to protect faith communities following the horrendous attacks in Christchurch last year, we also launched a consultation asking faith groups what else should be done to help them feel safe and confident while practicing their religion.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2015 answer text <p>We seek to deport or remove foreign nationals whose presence in the UK is contrary to the public interest, including those who hold extremist views. The Government takes very seriously the need to respond to the threat from all types of extremism.</p><p>In April a number of changes to the appeals and removals system introduced by the Immigration Act 2014 came into effect. These include the streamlining of the appeals process and a single power of removal to mitigate the abusive use of the judicial system by immigration offenders to obstruct their removal or deportation. These measures apply equally to foreign nationals whose character and conduct is unacceptable, including those engaged in extremism. Such individuals would be liable to removal and have any existing leave or status in the UK revoked. British nationals cannot be removed or deported from the UK.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 07/07/2015 17:23:54 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

In 2011 the Home Secretary reformed the Prevent strategy to tackle the ideology behind the terrorist threat we face and made sure it tackled non-violent extremism as well as violent extremism. <br><br>This Government also set up the Extremism Task Force (ETF) in July 2013 in the wake of the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby to consider what more we could do to deal with extremism. The ETF has driven forward a number of actions. The Home Secretary has excluded more hate preachers than ever before, nearly 90 since 2010. We have removed 61,000 pieces of terrorist related material since December 2013. We have created a new online tool to make it easier for the public to report extremist content. We have worked with over 250 mosques, 50 faith groups and 70 community groups. We have trained over 150,000 frontline public sector workers to identify and support those at risk of radicalisation.<br><br>This week the Home Secretary outlined proposals for a new counter-extremism strategy to tackle the whole spectrum of extremism.
