We want our universities and colleges to be integrated communities where all staff and students are safe and secure and where free and open debate can take place. A valued aspect of the right to freedom of expression in the UK is that individuals have the right to criticise, disagree and campaign against the government on any issue of foreign or domestic policy they choose. It can be entirely legitimate to hold a view that is radical or extreme on the political spectrum. However, it becomes unacceptable and indeed, is a criminal activity when individuals develop extremist views that lead them to espouse, advocate or even undertake or facilitate violent acts., Institutions must not tolerate those who incite hatred so as to deliberately undermine good campus and community relations, using their extremist viewpoint as a justification for their actions. This guidance highlights the crucial importance of HE institutions, working with students of all backgrounds, to build community cohesion and good race relations on campus and to prevent the segregation of students. It aims to share information and experiences in order to enable university or college authorities to develop a more consistent and effective approach across the sector. It considers recommendations that may be necessary to ensure good relations and a safe environment in HE institutions, thus ensuring that all staff and students can work, study and live without fear of intimidation, harassment, bullying, threatening or violent behaviour.
