PREVENT
Prevent is a fundamental part of the UK Governments Counter Terrorism Strategy, fully endorsed by the Scottish Government. It aims to tackle radicalisation towards all forms of terrorism, and predominantly operates in the non-criminal space, where no crime has been planned or committed. Work is aimed at safeguarding and supporting susceptible individuals who may be at risk of radicalisation and being drawn in to terrorism or supporting terrorism.
Prevent operates predominantly from Local Authority led Prevent Multi-Agency Panels (PMAP), placed on a statutory footing by the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. The legislation dictates that each Local Authority area uses a multi-agency approach to identifying individuals at risk, assessing the nature and extent of that risk, and developing the most appropriate support plan for the individuals concerned.
