Independent Prevent learning reviews

Independent Prevent learning reviews into case management of individuals who commit a serious violence offence or terrorist attack.

Independent Prevent learning reviews are carried out where a terrorist attack or serious violence offence has been committed by someone with prior involvement in the Prevent programme. 

They are commissioned jointly by Home Office Prevent and Counter Terrorism Policing.  

The learning reviews are aimed at identifying internal learning within the Prevent system and are flexible and scalable to reflect the severity of the incident and the range of agency involvement.

They are often highly technical and delivered at pace to ensure the swift identification and implementation of learning.  

Further information about the Prevent programme is available in the Prevent and Channel factsheet.

We understand it can be difficult for victims and survivors of terrorism to be reminded of incidents like these. If you or someone you know is affected by this, you can get free support 24/7 from Victim Support:
