Preventing violent extremism

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:
