The Mayor of Leicester and the Home Office agreed that Leicester’s Prevent work will be led by the St Philip’s Centre and that the Prevent Coordinator will be located here.
The St Philips Centre approach to Prevent is to empower local communities to develop resilience to extremism and to have the strength to challenge all forms of extremism when it does arise. The council and the police – as with other statutory organisations – will continue to work together in partnership with the Prevent Coordinator, to deliver Prevent in Leicester.
