Counter-terrorism strategy
Communities
Working in partnership with many faith groups and communities.
Countering the terrorist threat
Countering the terrorist threat and ensuring good community relations are interdependent and we are continuing to work closely with communities to reassure them that law enforcement is appropriate and proportionate.
We work in partnership with communities to develop proposals to tackle the causes of radicalisation and disaffection amongst a minority of our young people. We are also determined to tackle Islamophobia and stamp out extremism and racism wherever it occurs.
Working with faith groups
The government has updated and shortened the guidelines on the needs of faith communities in major emergencies. This is so that those affected are dealt with as sensitively as is possible in the circumstances.
The guidelines provide concise guidance to help local emergency planners and responders understand the specific needs of victims and families from different faith communities in the event of a major incident.
We consulted with many groups before writing these guidelines, and requested contributions from smaller communities not previously included.
