Since September 2016, "relevant higher education bodies" have been subject under the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015 to a statutory duty to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. In doing so, they must have particular regard to their existing duties to ensure freedom of speech and consider academic freedom. Further information on how higher education providers should implement the duty is set out in two sets of statutory guidance published by the Government. The Government appointed the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) to monitor implementation of the duty across the higher education sector in England, covering 321 higher education providers. Alternative arrangements apply in Wales and Scotland. This report sets out HEFCE's findings from monitoring the first year of implementation of the Prevent duty in the higher education sector in England. The following Annexes are included: (1) List of providers monitored by HEFCE; (2) Self-assessment outcomes; and (3) Voluntary data returns.
