DHSC issues guidance for healthcare professionals on Prevent duty
- Details
The Department for Health and Social Care has issued guidance for healthcare professionals about the Prevent duty, which is part of the Government's counter-terrorism strategy and works to ensure that people who are susceptible to radicalisation are offered appropriate interventions.
It said healthcare professionals have a key role in Prevent “because frontline workers often meet and treat people who may be susceptible to radicalisation”.
This guidance provides information on:
- what the Prevent duty means for healthcare professionals
- accessing Prevent duty training
- how to spot signs of radicalisation
- how to raise and progress a concern
- further interventions that healthcare professionals may be involved in
