Prevent

The school works closely with Cheshire Police to identify signs of radicalisation and extremism and refers to Prevent.

What is Prevent?

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

• Main focus to prevent repeats of terrorist acts

• Respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from those who promote it

• Prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure they are given appropriate advice and support

• Work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation which we need to address

Key Terms

• RADICALISATION – is 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.
