The Governments Prevent strategy has three specific strategic objectives
1. Respond to ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from those who promote it
2. Prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure that they are given appropriate advice and support
3. Work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation that need to be addressed.
Skills Group have taken the following steps to ensure that we are able to support the Prevent strategy
We have:
1. Introduced clear policies and practices that are capable of identifying where learners or staff may be at risk of radicalisation and extremism
2. Produced a range of support materials and teaching resources which are built into our curriculum to raise awareness to learners of risks and signs of
radicalisation and actions to take if you have concerns
3. Developed sustainable relationships with partner organisations in relation to the promotion, implementation and delivery of Prevent in particular
Plymouth Gov.uk and Devon & Cornwall Police
4. Undertaken risk assessments
5. Nominated a dedicated Prevent lead: Debra Rowan, Quality Improvement Manager
6. Introduced safe and secure ways in which concerns can be discussed
7. Ensured that all staff are trained and understand their Prevent responsibilities.
