Introduction to the Prevent Duty

This e-learning course offers an introduction to the Prevent duty, and explains how it aims to safeguard vulnerable people from being radicalised to supporting terrorism or becoming terrorists themselves. A link to the prevent duty guidance is available at the end of the e-learning. The course will provide you with an important foundation on which to develop further knowledge around the risks of radicalisation and the role you can play in supporting those at risk. The training addresses all forms of terrorism and non-violent extremism, including far right wing and islamist extremism threatening the UK.

Prevent Referrals

This package builds on the Prevent awareness eLearning training. It is designed to make sure that when we share a concern that a vulnerable individual may be being radicalised, that the referral is robust, informed and with good intention, and that the response to that concern is considered, and proportionate.
