Prevent duty training: Learn how to support people susceptible to radicalisation
Prevent sits alongside long-established safeguarding duties on professionals to protect people from a range of other harms such as substance abuse, involvement in gangs and physical and sexual exploitation.

Prevent is one part of the government’s overall counter-terrorism strategy.

The aim of Prevent is to:

– tackle the ideological causes of terrorism
– intervene early to support people susceptible to radicalisation
– enable people who have already engaged in terrorism to disengage and rehabilitate

Who Prevent duty training is for:

– education
– health
– local authorities
– police
– criminal justice agencies (prisons, probation, youth justice)
– Other sectors that are not covered by the Prevent duty may also complete this training.
