Mental Health Awareness Week - 11 - 17 May 2026
Prevent is about safeguarding people and communities from the threat of terrorism. Prevent is one of the four elements of CONTEST, these are:
Prevent
Pursue
Protect
Prepare
It aims to safeguard people being radicalised and becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.
What we do
We train all our staff on the Prevent Duty so that they are aware of the signs of radicalisation and extremism, and what to do if they have concerns about anyone
We promote the British values of democracy, the rule of law, mutual tolerance and respect and individual liberty
We take all instances of radicalisation extremely seriously and involve the police and other agencies where necessary
We have a Safeguarding Team who you can contact if you feel that someone is trying to coerce you with their radical ideals
We take action if you have been a victim of radicalisation or fear someone may be radicalising someone else
We review our learners' welfare via telephone reviews.
What you will do
I will talk to someone if I have concerns that I am being radicalised
I will talk to someone if I think someone else is being radicalised
I know that I can report my concerns to the Safeguarding Team at the STC Group
I will ensure that I have a good understanding of British values and the threats that radicalisation and extremism can pose, asking STC Group for further information if needed
I will avoid putting myself in risky or dangerous situations, particularly with people I do not know
I am aware that some people on the internet/social media are not who they say they are
I will use the internet/social media safely and report any inappropriate content that links to radical ideals, extremism or terrorism at: www.gov.uk/report-terrorism

If you are caught up in an incident our advice is to Run, Hide and Tell
Watch the brief video demonstrating the necessary steps to take in the event of a terrorist attack.
What to do in the event of a terrorist attack. Guidance issued by Counter Terrorism Policing for members of the public.
In the unlikely event of a terrorist attack, remember to follow RUN HIDE TELL – guidance which can be applied to many situations and places.
RUN
RUN
escape if you can
consider the safest options
is there a safe route? RUN, if not HIDE
can you get there without exposing yourself to greater danger?
insist others leave with you, but don’t let their indecision slow you down
leave belongings behind
do not attempt to film the incident. RUN
HIDE
HIDE
If you cannot RUN, HIDE:
find cover from gunfire
if you can see the attacker, they may be able to see you. Cover from view does not mean you are safe. Bullets can go through glass, brick, wood and metal. You must still HIDE, even if you are behind a locked door
find cover from gunfire behind substantial brickwork or heavy reinforced walls
be aware of exits
try not to get trapped
be quiet, silence your phone and turn off vibrate
lock and barricade
move away from the door
TELL
TELL
When it is safe to do so, TELL by calling 999
What do the police need to know? If you cannot speak or make a noise, listen to the instructions given to you by the call taker:
nature of the incident – what is happening?
location – where is the incident taking place? Give an address or general location
suspects – where are the suspects?
direction – where did you last see the suspects?
descriptions – describe the attacker, numbers, features, clothing, weapons etc.
further information – casualties, type of injury, building information, entrances, exits, hostages etc.
stop other people entering the building if it is safe to do so
