Prevent Duty (VTQ)

The Prevent Duty (VTQ) course offers a comprehensive overview of the UK Government's Prevent strategy, designed to help individuals and organisations recognise and respond to the risk of radicalisation. This course is suitable for anyone working in education, healthcare, public services, or community roles who may come into contact with vulnerable individuals.

The course begins by outlining the objectives of the Prevent strategy, which forms part of the UK’s broader counter-terrorism approach. It explains the importance of early intervention in tackling the causes of extremism and identifies how individuals may become vulnerable to radicalisation.

You will explore the key elements of a risk-based approach, learn how to recognise warning signs, and understand what to do if you have concerns about someone’s behaviour. The course also highlights how Prevent Duty relates to safeguarding responsibilities and links to other government strategies. It helps ensure that individuals and organisations understand their role in creating safer communities.

This training supports those in both public-facing and private sector roles to meet their Prevent Duty obligations and take practical steps to reduce the risk of extremism in their workplace or community. The course content is delivered through engaging video-based modules, making it accessible and easy to follow.

The Prevent Duty (VTQ) can be completed 100% online and includes up-to-date information on counter-terrorism risks and strategies. Like many of our other courses, it is designed to align with current UK government guidance and safeguarding frameworks.

All course content reflects the latest legislative developments and guidance, including the evolving threat landscape and the emphasis on local, proportionate action. On completion, you will be better equipped to identify concerns, know how to act appropriately, and contribute to wider efforts to prevent terrorism.

This course is ideal for a wide range of sectors and supports both individual learners and organisational compliance needs.

Prevent Duty training is designed to help professionals understand and respond to the risks of radicalisation, in line with the UK Government’s counter-terrorism strategy.
