What is Prevent and Radicalisation? How and when do you Refer?

This is for all professionals, volunteers and safeguarding leads who work with young people or adults, especially if you work with any vulnerable cohorts - reports have informed us that they may present a higher risk of radicalisation.

You will better understand Prevent and to be more confident in identifying and responding to a Prevent concern.

Prevent Description:

The Prevent team are dedicated to ensuring that our communities and families are not exploited or groomed into following a path of violent extremism. Prevent is all about safeguarding and supporting those vulnerable to radicalisation, to stop them from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. The government introduced the Prevent statutory duty through the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. The duty requires local authorities with other professional organisations to consider the need to safeguard people from being drawn into terrorism.
