We all have a responsibility to keep our county and the people in it safe. Extremism and radicalisation in our community are very real threats to our society and being aware is the first step in helping to prevent this.
Prevent
The Prevent strategy is focused on safeguarding people from radicalisation or extremism.
We have the lead role in delivering the Prevent strategy in Bracknell Forest under the Prevent duty guidance. We are working with partners such as the police, health, and education to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.
More information on Prevent is available from GOV.UK:
Spotting signs of radicalisation
You can help to reduce the threat from terrorism, radicalisation, and extremism by being vigilant, knowing what to report and reporting it.
The aim is to act early by spotting the warning signs of an individual at risk, of being drawn or groomed into extremist, and terrorism ideologies and provide early intervention and support.
