What is the Prevent strategy?

Prevent is a government strategy designed to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorist or extremist causes. At St Clement’s and St. John’s Infant School we also consider believe that this work extends to supporting children's thinking skills so that they grow up without developing extreme views.

The Prevent strategy covers all types of terrorism and extremism, including the extreme right wing beliefs, neo-fascism, anti-animal testing related violence, violent Islamist groups and any other idealistic causes.
