'''Lesley Simm''' (Date of birth: October 1952) is a former civil servant at the [[Defence Academy]]'s [[Advanced Research and Assessment Group]] with a specialism in 'Islamist' movements, who went on to do work on [[Prevent]] with the [[Institute of Statecraft]] and the [[Active Change Foundation]].

According to a biographical note on the ACF website Simm:

:graduated from Nottingham University (History/Art History Jt Hons) in 1975. Following post-graduate work at London University, Lesley worked in Iran for the British Council and then, after a hasty departure from Iran in 1979, she moved to East Africa, working in Somalia and Tanzania. Lesley lectured in the UK for some years, leading a key academic area in her college, then, on her return to the Horn of Africa, she spent two years researching in Ethiopia, focussing on the management (and sharing) of water resources in the Nile Basin. Returning to the UK in 2000, Lesley worked for the [[Diocese of Winchester]] for three years, restructuring partnership links between the Diocese and the African Provinces (Burundi, Congo, Rwanda, Uganda and, also Burma).<ref name="ACF">Active Change Foundation [https://web.archive.org/web/20101209145805/http://www.activechangefoundation.org/the-team.html The Team].

Around 2003 Simm started working at the [[Defence Academy]]:
:As Senior Research Fellow, and Director of the ‘Behaviours’ research group, at the [[Defence Academy]] of the United Kingdom, Lesley spent six years developing teams of experts with understanding of the UK’s current strategic interests. It was during this time that she formed links with leading Muslim Scholars and academics studying the Islamic world, and ‘grass roots’ groups working with vulnerable young people in the UK.<ref name="ACF"/>
