Counter Extremism Strategy
The Government launched its strategy to counter extremism in October 2015

The strategy sets out four key areas of activity to tackle extremism:
- Countering extremist ideology – confronting and challenging extremist propaganda, ensuring no space goes uncontested including online; promoting a better alternative; and supporting those at risk of radicalisation.
- Building a partnership with all those opposed to extremism – standing with and building the capacity of mainstream individuals, community organisations and others who work every day to challenge extremists and protect vulnerable individuals.
- Disrupting extremists – creating new targeted powers, flexible enough to cover the full range of extremist behaviour including where extremists sow division in communities and seek to undermine the rule of law.
- Building more cohesive communities – reviewing, understanding and addressing the reasons why some people living in Britain do not identify with British values.
