Almost 7,000 individuals were referred to the Prevent Programme in 2024*.

The purpose of this qualification is to increase the learner’s knowledge and awareness of safeguarding and Prevent, which is a government counter-terrorism strategy to prevent radicalisation.

The course is ideal for anyone who is responsible for the safeguarding of individuals and will provide learners with an understanding of how to recognise signs of abuse and reduce the risk of radicalisation, including awareness of online safety.
