What is Prevent?
Prevent is part of the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy. The aim of the Prevent strategy is to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism – in all its forms.
Overseen by the Home Office, the strategy is delivered by local authorities, working alongside a wide range of government departments and community organisations.
The Prevent team
In the case of Hammersmith & Fulham and Kensington and Chelsea councils, Prevent is a Bi-borough service. Based at Hammersmith & Fulham Council, the team delivers work including:
- training for frontline staff in recognising, referring and responding to radicalisation
- a variety of projects to build capacity, increase resilience and improve understanding of extremism and radicalisation, with partners such as schools, colleges, frontline staff, community groups, venues and parents
- a referral service for concerns, called Channel, which acts as an early intervention service to safeguard vulnerable individuals from radicalisation.
