PREVENT is part of the UK Government's counter-terrorism strategy and aims to safeguard people from becoming involved in terrorism or supporting terrorism. It forms part of wider safeguarding responsibilities in relevant organisations and settings.

WRAP, or Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent, is an awareness-based approach designed to help professionals understand the PREVENT duty, recognise vulnerability and know how to respond appropriately to concerns. Current PREVENT training and guidance may use updated terminology and resources, but the core aim remains early safeguarding intervention.

The course is suitable for professionals who may have safeguarding responsibilities or regular contact with children, young people or adults, including care workers, healthcare professionals, teachers, support workers, youth workers, safeguarding leads and managers.

There is no single profile or checklist that indicates radicalisation. Changes in behaviour, circumstances, relationships or expressed views may sometimes indicate vulnerability, but concerns should always be considered in context and responded to through appropriate safeguarding procedures rather than assumptions.

Online radicalisation refers to the process through which individuals may be influenced towards extremist or terrorist ideas through digital content, online communities or other internet-based interactions. Awareness of online risks can help professionals identify safeguarding concerns earlier.

Channel is a voluntary, confidential programme that provides support to people who may be vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism. It uses a multi-agency approach to understand individual circumstances and consider appropriate support.

No. A safeguarding concern does not mean that an individual is involved in terrorism or has committed an offence. PREVENT focuses on early intervention and safeguarding people who may be vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism.

Staff should follow their organisation's safeguarding and PREVENT procedures and report concerns to the appropriate safeguarding or PREVENT lead. Where there is an immediate risk of harm, the relevant emergency procedures should be followed.

Safeguarding conversations should be respectful, proportionate and focused on the individual. Person-centred communication can help professionals understand circumstances and vulnerabilities without making assumptions or unnecessarily escalating concerns.

PREVENT responsibilities arise from the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, including the Prevent duty placed on specified authorities. Training requirements can vary depending on the organisation, role and local arrangements, so staff should follow their employer's requirements.
