Description
Course Overview
This course aims to familiarise you with the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy: Contest, specifically the Prevent Strategy. It is aimed specifically at healthcare staff, with a focus on Prevent being a safeguarding need.
Intelligence indicates that further terrorist attacks in our country are ‘highly likely.
Experience tells us that the threat comes not just from foreign nationals, but from terrorists born and bred in Britain. It is therefore vital that our counter-terrorism strategy contains a plan to prevent radicalisation and stop would-be terrorists from committing mass murder. The Prevent strategy, published by the Government is part of the overall counter-terrorism strategy.
This course starts with an overview of the Government’s Prevent strategy, and then looks at some of the reasons people become extremists. It goes on to cover the objectives of the Prevent strategy, how to base your actions on a risk based approach, what to do if you are concerned and much more.
