Prevent Strategy

What is Prevent?

'The Prevent duty requires all education providers ‘to help prevent the risk of people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism’. This includes safeguarding learners from extremist ideologies and radicalisation. Most importantly, providers should consider the needs of children, young people and adult learners at each stage of the safeguarding process. Providers should consider radicalisation concerns in line with their existing safeguarding processes, skills and experience.'

Department for Education (2023): The Prevent duty

The purpose of Prevent is at its heart to safeguard and support vulnerable people to stop them from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.

Prevent has three specific objectives:

• Tackle the causes of radicalisation and respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism
• Safeguard and support those most at risk from radicalisation through early intervention, identifying them and offering support
• Enable those who have already engaged in terrorism to disengage and rehabilitate
