Official inquiry finds PREVENT counter-terrorism scheme is also too focused on Right-wing extremism and not the ‘lethal threat from Islamism’

Urgent overhaul planned for Prevent which is ‘protecting terrorists and not the public’

Suella Braverman is planning an urgent overhaul of the Government’s counter-extremism programme after an official inquiry concluded Prevent was treating potential terrorists as “victims”.

Government sources said the new Home Secretary had internally identified reform of Prevent as “a key priority for her within her first few months”.

The disclosure comes as The Telegraph reveals the damning findings of an official inquiry that has concluded that Prevent has strayed from its “core mission” of stopping people from becoming terrorists.
