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: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prevent-duty-guidance/prevent-duty-guidance-for-england-and-wales-accessible<\/a>.<\/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> The department has a team of\u202fPrevent Regional Education Co-ordinators\u202fwho work directly with\u202fHE\u202finstitutions in England to provide advice, support and training\u202fto ensure providers are well equipped to prevent people from being drawn into or supporting terrorism. Further guidance, including\u202fbespoke training material for HE providers, can be found on GOV.UK.<\/p> <\/p>
