Prevent Training

Who should attend?

Any professional working directly with children living in (or looked after by) Lambeth and/or their families. This training is suitable for any LB Lambeth staff, or staff at voluntary/community sector groups who engage with members of the public and may need to make a Prevent referral due to concerns about the risk of radicalisation. Education setting staff may attend, but specialist training is available for their settings which may be more appropriate.

Why should they attend?

Local authorities have a statutory duty to “have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”. Often known as the Prevent Duty, this statutory requirement is accompanied by guidance from the Home Office which suggests “a training programme…for relevant personnel” as a benchmark for compliance. All relevant staff and commissioned services should be aware of the signs of possible radicalisation and understand the need to raise concerns and understand when and how to make referrals to Prevent, as well as where to get additional advice and support.

What are the learning objectives?

By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

• Demonstrate an understanding of Prevent aims, terminologies, and processes;
• Explain how the risk people we work with might manifest, and at what point concerns should be raised;
• Explain how Prevent-related cases work once a referral is made and show awareness of the wider support options available to professionals and service users.
