PREVENT

We have a duty to PREVENT people from being drawn into extremism or terrorism.

We aim to protect people against messages of violent extremism from different groups who seek to undermine fundamental British Values.

• Extremism is doing something extreme against British Values e.g. participating in violence or terrorism
• Radicalisation is recruiting or being recruited into an organisation which plans to commit extremism

British Values

We all have a responsibility to support and demonstrate British Values.

These are:

• democracy
• rule of law
• individual liberty
• mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs

If you think you, or someone else, has been hurt, abused or is at risk of radicalisation, please report this as soon as possible.
