In order to do so effectively, the Government draws on the skills, resources and remits of different departments, agencies and non-government organisations.</p><p>This activity is coordinated by the Defending Democracy programme in the Cabinet Office, with individual Government departments and the Security and Intelligence Agencies playing a key role in all relevant areas.
