Prevent

The College works in partnership with Staffordshire Police to identify signs of radicalisation and extremism.

The Government has a strategy called PREVENT which aims to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.

What is the purpose of Prevent?

• To prevent terrorist attacks
• To respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from those who promote it
• To prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure they are given appropriate advice and support
• To work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation

Key Terms:

RADICALISATION – a process by which an individual or group comes to adopt increasingly extreme political, social, or religious ideals and aspirations

TERRORISM – the unofficial or unauthorised use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims

EXTREMISM – the holding of extreme political views.
