The effectiveness of this work is regularly and independently assessed.</p><p> </p><p>To enable it to carry out its extremism programme NOMS receives funding from the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism (OSCT) in the Home Office. We do not release the breakdown of funding per sector, as this could potentially reveal where the threat to the national security of the UK is greatest. This may impact negatively on the delivery of Prevent, and on the range of activities deployed to prevent terrorism. This could serve to weaken and prejudice the national security of the UK.</p><p>In addition, NOMS staff, as part of their daily role, contribute to the Organisation’s extremism work.
