Our students see school as a safe place where they can explore controversial issues safely, developing balanced and informed views The current threat from terrorism and extremism in the UK is real and severe and can involve the exploitation of vulnerable people, including children and young people. Awareness of PREVENT and an understanding of the risks it is intended to address, are both vital to help identify young people whose behaviours suggests they are being drawn into terrorism or extremism. What is PREVENT? PREVENT is a key part of the Government’s strategy to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Early intervention is at the heart of PREVENT in diverting people away from being drawn into terrorist activity. PREVENT happens before any criminal activity takes place. It is about recognising, supporting and protecting people who might be susceptible to radicalisation in whatever form that may take e.g. developing and pursuing political and religious beliefs that may harm and endanger others.
