Prevent Radicalisation & Extremism Training

Radicalisation often exploits personal vulnerabilities, such as isolation, emotional distress, or challenging life circumstances, making early identification and intervention critical.

Under Section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, public sector organisations have a legal responsibility known as the Prevent Duty. This places a clear obligation on professionals working across sectors including healthcare, education, social care, policing, prisons, probation, and local government to help protect individuals from being drawn into terrorism or extremist activity.

The Prevent Duty is a key safeguarding measure, designed to support those who may be vulnerable to radicalisation and reduce the risk of involvement in terrorism-related offences.
