Prevent is part of the UK’s counter-terrorism strategy and is designed to help all vulnerable people from being exposed to radicalisation, reducing the potential for future involvement in activities which could harm others.
The Prevent strategy covers all types of violent extremism, including the extreme right wing, violent Islamist groups and other causes.
Its primary goal is to bring people together from all agencies and members of the community, to offer support to an individual who is at risk of radicalisation, or to their family.
Family, friends and professionals are usually the first people to notice early warning signs that an individual is becoming involved in violent extremism.
Share your concerns about individuals you feel are susceptible to being drawn into violent extremist activity so that early, appropriate and effective support can be arranged. Likewise, report individuals or groups where it is felt extremism is being promoted.
