<p>Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) works closely with a range of
partners to tackle terrorism and extremism of all ideologies. HMPPS have a wide range
of interventions available to deal with such prisoners including transfer to others
prisons, wing moves and where appropriate, segregations. In addition the Government
opened its first Separation Centre in June 2017. A second centre open in March 2018.
The centres have been established in order to hold the most subversive extremist prisoners,
and safeguard the mainstream population from terrorist and extremist influences. HMPPS
also has a strong multi-faith Chaplaincy dedicated to working with prisoners on all
faith matters including providing a proper understanding of religion. In addition
over 14,000 prison staff have received specialist extremism awareness training since
January 2017.</p>
