The government’s definition of extremism

The vocal or active opposition to our fundamental values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and the mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.

We also regard calls for the death of members of our armed forces as extremist.

What happens when you send us a report

You can make this report anonymously to the DfE’s Counter-Extremism Division. You do not have to give your name or contact details unless you want to.

The information you provide will be used by the government to help combat extremism in education.

Before you start

If you are reporting a concern or an occurrence of extremism in education, We will refer to it mostly as the 'incident', 'concern' or 'occurrence'.

Give as much detail as possible in your answers.

The form does not allow for saving and editing at a later date.

In an emergency, including a threat to life, always call the police on 999.

If you believe you have information relating to terrorism, please call the anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321.

If you have a safeguarding concern about a child, contact your local authority or council safeguarding team.

What do we mean by safeguarding?

In this context, ‘safeguarding’ concern means you are worried that someone working with, or caring for, children in an educational setting is putting them at risk from extremism.
