Simple terms explainer:
Councils must have due regard to preventing people from being drawn into terrorism by taking reasonable steps to identify and reduce risks that could lead individuals toward extremist views or actions. This involves being aware of signs of radicalisation, promoting safe and inclusive environments, and ensuring that policies and practices support early intervention. It’s about safeguarding people by addressing vulnerabilities before they escalate into harmful behaviour.
