Freedom of Information Request 1

  • Does your institution provide any information or advice to students or staff on any potential liability under Terrorism legislation which might result from accessing materials for teaching or research?
No.
  • Does your institution have any kind of procedure to review or assess reading lists, module descriptors or other teaching materials which explicitly or in practice considers questions of safety and risk under terrorism legislation as part of its remit?

Whilst there is no single system, policy or procedure in place for this purpose, the prevention of violent extremism is addressed in a number of university policies. I attach copies of the relevant documents:
  • Policy and procedures on the appropriate student use of university electronic information and communications facilities and services, Paras 6 and 7.6 refer;
  • Violence at Leeds Metropolitan University: a policy statement, Paras 2 and 3 (v), (vi) and (vii) refer;
