Q941: What is the PREVENT programme?

Answer

PREVENT is part of the Government's counter terrorism strategy which aims to stop people becoming or supporting terrorists and terrorists activities. It works with a wide range of sectors (educational, faith, criminal justice, charities etc.) offering appropriate support and advice where there are risks of radicalisation.

The strategy prioritises the work load according to the risk that is currently being faced - which at the moment is radicalisation and extremism.

If you wish to share a concern you can call the national police Prevent advice line in confidence on 0800 011 3764 9am to 5pm every day and speak with a specially trained officer.

Answer

Yes, you should. The police will take seriously any reports of this nature. Even if you think it is nothing, it may be valuable intelligence to the police.
 
If you contact your local police force with as many details as possible they will pass the information on to the relevant department. 

If you feel that there is an immediate threat then call 999, alternatively you can contact them via 101. You can also report it to the Anti-Terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321.

Contact your local police via their 101 number with as much detail as possible about the person and give the person's name and address and the address of the garage. They will then pass the information onto the relevant department. Also seek advice from the police on how to warn other garage owners and neighbours as to any possible danger.

The Police will then consider what action to take.  Reporting is very important as intelligence gathering and evidence will need to be collated.

You can also report it to the Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321.
 
If you feel that the situation is an emergency then you should always dial 999.

Answer

Everyone is entitled to his or her own beliefs, however, there are offences that can be committed when a person uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or displays any written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting and he has the intention to stir up racial hatred or, looking at all the facts, that is the likely outcome of their actions.
 
This offence can be committed in a public place or in a private place, such as a house, but the offence is only committed in a private place if people outside can see or hear the offensive material.

If the man next door has extremist beliefs, as long as the material is kept within his private dwelling then he commits no offence. Unfortunately, the St George's flag has in the past been a symbol for certain right wing political parties but it does not mean that a person who displays such a flag shares those views, they could be an avid football fan and/or very patriotic, which are two entirely different things.

It is not currently a criminal offence to sell or own Nazi memorabilia in the UK.
