Details

In 2023, the Independent Review of Prevent (IRP) recommended that there was a need for greater oversight of Prevent, the programme designed to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.

The IRP recommended the creation of a specific body – the Standards and Compliance Unit, or StaCU – to ensure Prevent maintains the highest standards of delivery and adheres to objectives agreed by democratically elected ministers.

The report contains findings from StaCU’s first year of operation, one in which it received and resolved a range of complaints from both practitioners and the general public.
