Prevent and Radicalisation

Awareness training on spotting the signs of radicalisation and knowing how to respond.

 Prevent and Radicalisation

This CPD-certified online course introduces learners to the UK government's Prevent strategy and raises awareness of the risks associated with radicalisation and extremism. Suitable for professionals working with children, young people, or vulnerable adults, it provides a clear understanding of the signs of radicalisation, how it occurs, and what action to take. Learners will explore British values, the legal framework surrounding Prevent, and referral procedures in line with statutory safeguarding responsibilities. Most teams have never had structured Prevent training beyond a single line in an induction pack. This course closes that gap in three hours, no classroom required.
