The Prevent Duty was created by the Home Office as part of the government’s Counter-Terrorism Strategy and sets out the guidance for the local authority and its partners to prevent people becoming terrorists or engaging in extremism leading to terrorism.

The Duty aims to safeguard vulnerable people from harm, just like all other types of safeguarding such as human trafficking, gangs, drugs, child sexual exploitation and domestic abuse.

The Prevent Duty Guidance explains what steps the council and its partners are required to undertake to safeguard those at risk of becoming involved in terrorism or extremism or leading to terrorism.
