Prevent Duty

Intelligence indicates that further terrorist attacks in our country are ‘highly likely’. Experience tells us that the threat comes not just from foreign nationals; but from terrorists born and bred in Britain. It is therefore vital that our counter-terrorism strategy contains a plan to prevent radicalisation and stop would-be terrorists from committing mass murder. The Prevent strategy; published by the Government is part of the overall counter-terrorism strategy. This course starts with an overview of the Government’s Prevent strategy; and then looks at some of the reasons people become extremists. It goes on to cover the objectives of the Prevent strategy; how to base your actions on a risk based approach; what to do if you are concerned and much more.
