HARTPURY_WELLBEING_BOOKLET_2022

PREVENT is part of the UK’s counter terrorism strategy, preventing people from becoming involved in or supporting terrorism. At the heart of PREVENT is safeguarding people and communities and providing early intervention to protect and divert people from being drawn into terrorism and extremism. All colleges and universities have a duty of care to have “due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism” under Section 26 of the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015. At Hartpury we have embraced this duty incorporating PREVENT within our safeguarding policies and providing staff and student training.

The PREVENT agenda Radicalisation is a process through which an individual changes from passiveness or activism to become more revolutionary, militant or extremist, especially where there is intent towards, or support for, violence. Should you have any concerns please contact the Residential Safeguarding Manager / PREVENT Lead.
