Prevent is about safeguarding people from the threat of terrorism. Terrorism covers all forms of extremism, both violent and non-violent and is defined in the national prevent strategy as ‘any vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values’ and covers international and domestic terrorist threats, including the activities of far right groups and animal rights groups.

We have a vital role to play in protecting you from the risk of extremism and radicalisation. This is underpinned by the Counter Terrorism & Security Act 2015 which states that Colleges must have ‘due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism’.

We work closely with communities and partner agencies to safeguard vulnerable individuals from any background who might be at risk from radicalisation

There are a range of support services available to support you to be safe.
