Background
In December 2017 the Mayor of London introduced a City Hall-wide Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Programme, to run throughout 2018.
The programme aimed to empower Londoners to speak out against extremism to help keep London safe.
The Mayor’s CVE programme has three core objectives:
- working to strengthen London’s minority and marginalised communities,
- to safeguard the vulnerable
- to stop the spread of extremist ideologies
The programme worked with key stakeholders to deliver more tailored counter radicalisation activity across London. Whilst working with specialist community engagement experts, the programme has undertaken a full and frank assessment of existing counter-extremism initiatives and the work of the government’s Prevent agenda in the capital.
