Details

The Prevent training and competencies framework has been developed to:

• encourage a consistent approach to training and competency development in respect of Prevent
• ensure that NHS trusts and foundation trusts meet their legislative responsibilities to equip people to work effectively to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, young people and adults in relation to Prevent

This document will also support NHS provider organisations, NHS commissioners and organisations providing services on behalf of the NHS, to meet contractual obligations in relation to safeguarding training, as set out in the NHS standard contract.

For guidance for healthcare professionals about how to share information to safeguard individuals from radicalisation, see Prevent and the Channel process in the NHS: information sharing and governance.
