Prevent

PREVENT is one part of the government’s overall counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST. The aim of PREVENT is to:

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

This training is for people working in sectors covered by the Prevent duty, such as:

  • Education
  • Health
  • Local authorities
  • Police
  • Criminal justice agencies (prisons, probation and youth justice)

Other sectors that are not covered by the PREVENT duty may also complete this training.
