What is the Prevent Duty in Education?
The Prevent Duty is a legal obligation in the UK that requires schools, colleges and universities to prevent individuals from being drawn into terrorism or extremism. It is part of the wider counter-terrorism strategy called CONTEST, which aims to detect and respond to threats from terrorism. Under the Prevent Duty, institutions are expected to assess the risk of radicalisation among students, staff and visitors, and to put measures in place to safeguard them. This may include staff training, policies and procedures, risk assessments, and close partnership working with police and other agencies. The Prevent Duty is seen as a vital tool in preventing terrorism and protecting vulnerable individuals from harm.
