Keeping Learners Safe
The PREVENT Duty
We also have a responsibility to ensure we comply with the Prevent duty. This duty forms part of the Government’s counter terrorism strategy. Terrorists’ threats in the UK can come from a range of organisations and in some case lone individuals.
All terrorist groups need to radicalise people to their cause. How, where and to what extent they do this varies. We have a strategy in place that;
- Requires all staff and learners to undertake Prevent training
- Requires all staff to promote mainstream British values
- Ensures all staff act timely to report any concerns regarding radicalisation and/or threats to commit terrorism.
All tutors and mentors are required to complete Prevent training as part of their induction and every 2 years after that.
Learners are expected to complete the Safeguarding and Prevent Workbook at induction to help you understand the risks of radicalisation and how to help keep yourself and others safe. For full details read our Prevent Strategy.
Be Vigilant & Alert
Worried About Someone Or Their Behaviour?

- Signs of potential harm, abuse, or neglect.
- Worrying comments or actions related to radicalisation.
