Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent (WRAP)

Section 26 of the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015 places a legal obligation on specified authorities to pay due regard to prevent people being drawn into terrorism.

All staff have an appropriate awareness of signs of potential radicalisation enabling them to keep an effective watching brief on children and young people.
