Prevent
Preventing terrorism and radicalisation within our communities
The Prevent strategy is focused on safeguarding people from radicalisation or extremism. This includes work to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. We have the lead role in delivering the Prevent strategy in Hampshire in accordance with the Prevent duty guidance and through our Prevent Partnership Board we are working with partners, such as the Police, health and district councils.
Prevent is about safeguarding individuals who are vulnerable to radicalisation by stopping them being drawn into terrorism or extremism. We all have a responsibility to keep Hampshire safe. Extremism and radicalisation in our communities are very real threats, and understanding what these are can help us reduce the threat from terrorism, radicalisation and extremism by being vigilant, knowing what to report, and how to report it.
