Preventing Violent Extremism: Next Steps for Communities.
The work of The Experience Corps was published in a document last week entitled Preventing Violent Extremism: Next Steps for Communities.
The document was launched in Manchester by Rt Hon Hazel Blears MP, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
The paper celebrates the achievements of people across the country, uniting their communities against the divisive messages and activities of violent extremists. It also sets out how this work will be taken forward in future years, broadening and deepening the response.
The document follows up the action plan Preventing Violent Extremism: Winning Hearts and Minds published in April 2007 which set out a range of proposals aimed at supporting a response across society to the current terrorist threat.
The Experience Corps were commissioned to put together a draft framework of standards and processes which set out how Muslim faith leaders are appointed to work with public institutions such as prisons, the police force, hospitals, courts and educational establishments.
The framework will be piloted in key institutions and locations from autumn 2008
