<p>Higher education (HE) providers must comply with the statutory Prevent duty to
have 'due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism'. The
statutory Prevent duty can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prevent-duty-guidance/prevent-duty-guidance-for-england-and-wales-accessible"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prevent-duty-guidance/prevent-duty-guidance-for-england-and-wales-accessible</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>HE providers should have effective policies and procedures in place to safeguard
individuals susceptible to radicalisation. This includes assessing the risk of learners
becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. The Office for Students has delegated
responsibility from the Secretary of State for Education for monitoring compliance
of the Prevent duty in Registered HE Bodies.</p><p> </p><p>The department has a team
of Prevent Regional Education Co-ordinators who work directly with HE institutions
in England to provide advice, support and training to ensure providers are well equipped
to prevent people from being drawn into or supporting terrorism. Further guidance,
including bespoke training material for HE providers, can be found on GOV.UK.</p><p>
</p><p>In the 'Independent Review of Prevent: One year on' progress report, the department
announced that it is committed to publishing research on the implementation of the
Prevent duty in HE, and guidance for universities on managing external speakers on
campus. The Independent Review of Prevent can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/independent-review-of-prevents-report-and-government-response/independent-review-of-prevent-one-year-on-progress-report-accessible"
