What is the Prevent Duty?
The Prevent Duty is a legal requirement under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. It requires care homes to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. This applies to residents, their visitors, and staff. Terrorism means using or threatening violence to influence government or intimidate the public for political, religious, racial, or ideological reasons. Extremism means vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.
What is the main purpose of the Prevent Duty in a care home setting?
The correct answer is “To have due regard to preventing people from being drawn into terrorism and protect vulnerable individuals”. In the full module, a wrong answer triggers a short follow-up lesson and a fresh question, so the gap is always closed before completion.
That is how the training works. Give your whole team the full Prevent Duty (Counter-Terrorism Awareness) module.

A closer look at the prevent duty (counter-terrorism awareness) module.
The module is built in short, practical sections. Each one teaches a part of the topic, then applies it to a real care scenario and checks understanding before moving on.
What is the Prevent Duty?
The Prevent Duty is a legal requirement under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. It requires care settings to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. This applies to residents, their visitors, and staff. Terrorism means using or threatening violence to influence government or intimidate the public for political, religious, racial, or ideological reasons. Extremism means vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.
Who Might Be Vulnerable?
Anyone can be vulnerable to radicalisation, regardless of age, background, gender, or religion. In a care setting setting, residents may be particularly vulnerable due to isolation, loneliness, cognitive impairment, mental health issues, or feeling they have lost their sense of purpose or identity. People experiencing grief, loss, or significant life changes may also be more susceptible. Vulnerability is not about a person's faith or ethnicity. It is about their circumstances and emotional state.
Recognising Signs of Concern
There is no single sign that someone is being radicalised, but you should be alert to changes in behaviour or attitude. Warning signs might include increased isolation or secretiveness, sudden changes in beliefs or views, expressing support for extremist ideologies or terrorist actions, accessing extremist material online or in print, significant changes in appearance or dress, increased anger or hostility towards particular groups, or being in contact with people who may hold extremist views. Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, report it.
What To Do If You Have Concerns
If you have any concerns that a resident, visitor, or colleague may be vulnerable to radicalisation or may be trying to radicalise others, you must report this immediately to the manager. Do not wait. Do not investigate yourself or confront the person. Record exactly what you have seen or heard, including dates and times. The manager will assess the concern and follow safeguarding procedures. This may involve contacting the local authority safeguarding team or the police Prevent team. Your concern may seem small, but it could be part of a bigger picture. It is always better to report and be wrong than to stay silent.
Protecting Residents and Being Open
Protecting residents from radicalisation is part of safeguarding. Under Regulation 13 Safeguarding Service Users from Abuse and Improper Treatment, the care setting must protect residents from all forms of abuse. If concerns are raised, the care setting will work with relevant authorities to keep everyone safe. the care setting follows the Duty of Candour, which means being open and transparent. If an incident occurs that affects a resident's safety or wellbeing, the care setting will be honest with the resident and their representatives, explain what happened, apologise if appropriate, and explain what actions are being taken. This applies to all safeguarding concerns including those related to Prevent.
Prevent is Part of Safeguarding
Prevent is not about spying on people or discriminating against anyone because of their religion, ethnicity, or beliefs. It is about safeguarding vulnerable people from harm. Just as you would report concerns about physical abuse, financial abuse, or neglect, you must report concerns about radicalisation. The Prevent Duty sits alongside all other safeguarding duties. You do not need to be certain that radicalisation is happening. If you have a concern, report it. Professionals will assess the situation. Remember that early intervention can protect someone from being drawn into terrorism and potentially save lives.
