Prevent

The Counter Terrorism and Security Act (2015), puts a legal duty on specified authorities. This is to give due regard to the need to prevent radicalisation and extremism.

The Prevent duty guidance outlines the responsibilities of specified authorities: Prevent duty guidance .

For sector-specific guidance, visit: Counter Terrorism strategy 2010 to 2015 government policy .
