Awareness of PREVENT Level 2

 

Level 2 – all clinical and non-clinical staff who have regular contact with patients, their families or carers, or the public

Prevent is part of the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy CONTEST and aims to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism; as such it is described as the only long term solution to the threat we face from terrorism. Prevent focuses on all forms of terrorism and operates in a pre-criminal space, providing support and re-direction to vulnerable individuals at risk of being groomed in to terrorist activity before any crimes are committed. Radicalisation is comparable to other forms of exploitation; it is therefore a safeguarding issue staff working in the health sector must be aware of. (NHS England 2015)
