This training service explains the purpose of Prevent, the risk around radicalisation, how to identify when someone may be susceptible to radicalisation, how to raise concerns and what a proportionate response looks like. It is aimed at frontline staff, including education, health, local authorities, police and criminal justice agencies (prisons, probation, youth justice) across England, Wales, and Scotland.
