Prevent duty training
Access training courses on the Prevent duty, the threat from terrorism and extremism in the UK and how to support people susceptible to radicalisation.
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
- 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.
