Description

What is WRAP?

The Home Office have produced a DVD-based training package called WRAP – Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent which is delivered across the Country. The workshop is for any staff, front line staff, managers and specialised employees who are based in any of the listed ‘specified authorities’ stated in the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015:

•Local authorities

•Schools and Registered Childcare Providers (excluding higher and further education)

•Further education

•Higher education

•The Health Sector

•Prisons and probation (including under 18 environments)

•The Police

What is the aim of WRAP?

WRAP is designed to help make staff in these agencies aware of their contribution in preventing vulnerable people being exploited for extremist or terrorist purposes. The workshop improves the understanding of the processes used by those who radicalise individuals and ensures that staff are aware of whom to contact within their organisation to discuss any concerns.

This workshop aims to give you:

•An understanding of the Prevent agenda and your role within it.

•The ability to use your existing expertise and professional judgement to recognise potentially vulnerable individuals and know when an intervention may be necessary to support them.

•Knowledge of when, how and where to refer concerns about vulnerable individuals.

WRAP Train the Trainer

In Somerset the WRAP training is delivered to all with the option to do the WRAP Train the Trainer course. This enables those attending to cascade the training to others within their own organisation. There is an expectation from the Somerset Prevent Strategy and Board that all agencies are able to ensure staff are trained over time within their own agency.
