The Prevent Duty is the Governments strategy to help reduce the threat to the UK from terrorism, and to intervene and help people who may be at risk of being radicalised, supporting terrorist organisations, or becoming terrorists. If you see or hear anything that worried you, or you are suspicious of something that could identify a terrorist threat in the UK, trust your instincts and report it by calling the Anti-terrorism hotline on 0800 789321. Your call could be vital. Help and advice is always available from the Safeguarding and Wellbeing team.

If you or someone else are at risk of imminent danger or harm call emergency services on 999. If you feel unable to keep yourself safe and you need immediate help, especially if you think you are at risk of acting on suicidal feelings, or you have seriously harmed yourself and need medical attention make your way to the closest A&E department.
