Raise Awareness of Prevent

About the Course

The Government's Prevent Strategy aims to reduce the number of people becoming or supporting violent extremists and is part of the UK's counter-terrorism strategy.

The Counter Terrorism and Security Bill 2015 has placed a statutory duty on specified authorities - including schools - to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism.

This session will offer:

• an understanding of the Prevent agenda and role of schools within it
• the ability to use your existing safeguarding expertise and professional judgement to recognise potentially vulnerable individuals and know when an intervention may be necessary to support them
• knowledge of when, how and where to refer concerns about vulnerable individuals
