Prevent Duty

The Prevent duty requires all education providers ‘to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism’. This includes safeguarding children, young people and adult learners from extremist ideologies and radicalisation.

Most importantly, providers should consider the needs of children, young people and adult learners at each stage of the safeguarding process. Providers should consider radicalisation concerns in line with their existing safeguarding processes, skills and experience.

Safeguarding children, young people and adult learners who are vulnerable to radicalisation depends on effective partnership.

To comply with the Prevent duty, schools, colleges and further education independent training providers must show evidence of:

  • productive co-operation, in particular with local Prevent staff, the police and local authorities
  • co-ordination through existing multi-agency forums

Each local authority has its own referral routes for safeguarding children, young people and adult learners from radicalisation and extremism. Effective partnerships will ensure that you understand these processes.
