Prevent: An Introduction

Groomers of all kinds prey on feelings of stress and isolation to exploit vulnerable individuals, both online and offline. #Prevent protects individuals targeted by terrorist influences by providing local, multi-agency safeguarding support. This video gives an introduction to how Prevent works on the ground, told by those who have come into contact with the programme.

Anyone can make a referral to Prevent. If you are concerned that someone you know is at risk of radicalisation, you can call the police on 101 to get advice or share a concern so that they can get support. Alternatively, you can contact your Local Authority safeguarding team: https://www.gov.uk/find-local-council
