Overview

What this course covers

Prevent is the safeguarding strand of the UK's counter-terrorism strategy, and many public and voluntary sector organisations hold a legal duty to have due regard to it. This programme helps staff understand that duty, covering the push and pull factors that create vulnerability to radicalisation and extremism.

Learners also cover how to respond to a concern, including the Channel referral process that offers early intervention support. The course explains how British values underpin the wider Prevent approach.
