Prevent Training – Tim Wright (Equivalent to Level 3)

Prevent is a strand of the UK Government’s wider Counter Terrorism Strategy. The Prevent strategy aims to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism by:

• Safeguarding and supporting individuals who are vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism before criminality takes place.
• Challenging extremist ideologies (that might be promoted through internet propaganda or hate speakers).
• Enabling those who have already engaged in terrorism to disengage and rehabilitate.

Prevent is concerned with all forms of terrorism, regardless of ideology or cause, including that driven by International Terrorism’, extremist right-wing groups, animal rights extremism, nationalist causes, etc. The Government has defined extremism as “vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. We also include in our definition of extremism calls for the death of members of our armed forces”. Terrorist groups often draw on extremist ideology which seeks to justify or promote terrorism or encourage others to commit terrorist acts. The Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015 makes the implementation of Prevent a statutory duty for Schools.

Only 5 people are allowed from each organisation, this is to make this multi agency. Unfortunately we will remove any more than 5 if the course has a waiting list to allow others from a different organisation to join the course.
