Dear Mr Benson

This email sets out the University s response to your recent request for
information. It has been processed in accordance with the requirements of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000.
I confirm that University holds some of the information that you requested. I
will address each of your questions in turn:
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.
2. 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?
No.
3. Does your institution have any system, policy or procedure in place for
dealing with any potential actions taken by the authorities against the
institution, its students or staff under Terrorism legislation?
No.
4. Does your institution have any system, policy or procedure in place for
preventing violent extremism as recommended for example in the government
guidance document Promoting Good Campus Relations ?
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:

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;
· Code of Practice on freedom of speech and expression, Paras 6 and 8
refer.
If you have any questions, please contact me. If you are dissatisfied with the
way that your request has been handled, you may apply for a review by contacting
the University Registrar & Secretary at: s.denton@leedsmet.ac.uk.
