Live Training Event - Tuesday 7 October 2025 - 10.00am - 11.30am

Session Aim:

To understand Prevent which is part of the UK's counter terrorism strategy, which looks at identifying individuals who may be becoming involved in or supporting terrorism. Prevent is part of Safeguarding.

This training has been updated in line with the revised Prevent Duty Guidance 2023. The updated guidance includes within the term 'Education Providers'; Registered Early Years Childcare Settings and Registered Later Years Childcare Settings. For these 'settings' staff should have sufficient training to be able to recognise susceptibility to terrorism and be aware of what action to take in response, including the setting’s internal Prevent referral arrangements, training should be proportionate to the risk of terrorism and extremism in their local area - Leicestershire is currently substantial - an attack is likely. The Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL) or Prevent lead in the setting should attend training at least every two years, enabling the lead to support other staff on Prevent matters and update them on relevant issues.

Session Objectives:

• Understand the aims of Prevent

• Think about who may be vulnerable to radicalisation and terrorism

• See why some people are able to influence and manipulate others to commit crimes

• Recognise when a vulnerable individual may be in need of your help

• And be clear on what help and support looks like in this area, and who you should turn to if you have concerns.
