Prevent duty training (2024)

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.
