PREVENT resources

Prevent is the multi-agency set of arrangements aimed at preventing individuals and groups from engaging in violent extremism.

The Channel Panel is the multi-agency mechanism that oversees and co-ordinates Prevent interventions in Somerset. The Panel has a statutory basis under the terms of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015.

These arrangements are applicable to children as well as adults.

Prevent duty: guidance for healthcare professionals

Training

The NHS has an important role in supporting people referred to Prevent and working with people who would benefit from the safeguarding support that a referral can provide. More information is available in e-learning aligned to safeguarding competency levels:

Preventing Radicalisation-Basic Prevent Awareness (Levels 1&2)
Preventing Radicalisation- Awareness of Prevent (Level 3)

Both packages are accessed through Health Education England’s E-learning for Health platform https://portal.e-lfh.org.uk/ and remember Prevent training can contribute to your level 3 safeguarding competency.

New online training package from the Home Office, Channel awareness, has been launched (Oct 22). You can find all of the online sessions here: www.support-people-vulnerable-to-radicalisation.service.gov.uk
