This is a very important topic – our learners are exposed to a lot of influences and it is good to know how we can help them if we notice any changes.
I think this is a very valuable training and the explanation is very clear. I particularly liked the part on safe guarding- sometimes we get carried away with our own perception and it is always advisable to stop and check. This is made very clear in this video. Thank you for this trainig.

The Prevent Duty Training was informative, engaging, and highly relevant to my role within Health & Social Care. The content was clearly structured, making complex topics such as radicalisation, safeguarding responsibilities, and the Prevent Duty easy to understand and apply in practice. I particularly valued the use of realistic case studies, which helped contextualise the risks and warning signs within a real-world setting. The training also reinforced the importance of British Values and the role of professionals in promoting inclusion and safeguarding vulnerable individuals. The interactive elements and knowledge checks supported my understanding and ensured I remained engaged throughout. Overall, this training has increased my confidence in identifying concerns and knowing how to respond appropriately in line with safeguarding procedures
Easy to follow and understand.
Very informative and very helpful for new staff members to gain the knowledge.

The relevant legislation to this course is the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. This legislation places a duty on certain bodies to have:
“due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”.
The people that have a duty to prevent this radicalisation and extremism being inflicted upon children are listed in Schedule 6 to the Act.
The Prevent strategy is part of a Counter-terrorism strategy. The aim of the prevent strategy aims to reduce the threat of terrorism on the UK, by preventing them from being drawn to it or being part of it. By targeting those who are still young and developing, we allow them to be educated and form their opinions about why terrorism is wrong. Thus aiming to reduce terrorism as a whole.
