Prevent Course

The Prevent Duty Monitoring Framework was introduced by the Government in 2015 and is designed to raise awareness and reduce the potential risk of individuals being drawn into terrorism. The Leadership Foundation for Higher Education (LFHE) created training materials to brief and enable, both support and academic staff, with the implementation of the guidance in accordance with the legislation of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 enshrines in legislation the duty for a number of specified authorities in England and Wales “to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”. In the Act, higher education is included as one of seven specified authorities (the others are: local authorities; schools; further education; the health sector; prisons and probation; the police).
