Within County Durham, the Safe Durham Partnership has developed an e-learning course covering the process of radicalisation, how someone might be vulnerable to radicalisation and how staff might discuss or report any concerns. PREVENT has a strong link to safeguarding because vulnerable adults and young people can be susceptible to radicalisation and recruitment into terrorist organisations.
