The Prevent Duty

This short course endorsed by CACHE explores ‘The Prevent Duty’, and is apt for those working in schools and childcare settings. Prevent is a part of the UK’s counter-terrorism strategy, averting people from being involved in, or supporting, terrorism. Learn what ‘The Prevent Duty’ means for practitioners, how to fulfil it, and where to look for advice and support regarding protecting children from radicalisation.

Advantages of this course

The Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015 places a duty on educational settings to prevent people being drawn into terrorism. As such, this course in the first and second sections explains the exact nature of this duty and the relevant guidance from the Department for Education, for example how to build resilience to radicalisation by promoting fundamental British values.

Protecting children and young people from violent extremism is an emerging issue for anyone working with them. This course uses case studies and examples to aid understanding of how a child or young person may be drawn into terrorism, and further explores some of the ways in which some people can manipulate individuals to commit, or support, criminal behaviour.

The reading section of this course contains a vulnerability assessment. This assessment can be used to decide whether an individual needs support to address their vulnerability to radicalisation and the kind of support they need. Different sources of advice and support are also outlined, including details of the counter-extremism helpline.

Working in a school or childcare provider, staff may be asked to contribute to, or even write, an anti-radicalisation policy. There is a presentation in this course that gives a detailed guide to writing such a policy, and how to include anti-radicalisation principles in to other policies and procedures at the setting.

On successful completion of this course, you will have the option of purchasing a CACHE certificate. This certificate must not be confused with nationally regulated qualification achievement.
