Prevent Strategy

Prevent is one of the four elements of CONTEST, the government's counterterrorism strategy. It aims to prevent people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.

The Prevent strategy:

responds to the ideological challenge we face from terrorism and aspects of extremism and the threat we face from those who promote these views
provides practical help to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure they are given appropriate advice and support
works with a wide range of sectors (including education, criminal justice, faith, charities, online and health) where we need to deal with risks of radicalisation.

Please see our Prevent Strategy document for the full text of the Maple Grove Primary School.
