<p>The Home Office provides support to local authority for Prevent activity based
on an assessment of risk, to ensure that they understand the threat of extremism and
are equipped to deal with it effectively. We currently fund 30 priority areas, plus
an additional 14 areas which receive Home Office support for Prevent initiatives,
but do not have a funded Prevent co-ordinator as in priority areas. Crawley is one
of the additional areas. <br><br>Since June 2011 the Home Office has funded over 180
Prevent local authority projects. These include activity on education, internet safety,
and families – all projects now address the risk of travel to Syria and Iraq in different
ways. £40 million has been allocated for Prevent spending in 2014/15.</p><p> </p>
