What to do if you are concerned

Any concerns relating to a learner/apprentice can be reported to the designated safeguarding officer through your training provider. Alternatively, you can report concerns regarding any suspicious activity to the local Prevent officer, this is someone who works with Channel and can follow up on any of your concerns.

The Prevent team operates in the ‘non-criminal space’ aiming to divert individuals from entering the criminal justice system (CJS) by supporting those vulnerable to radicalisation in support of violent extremism. Support by Prevent does not require entry into the CJS nor does it mean the individual will then go on to receive any sort of criminal record.

Promoting British values

Fundamental British values are part of the Prevent strategy. We promote British Values to reflect life in modern Britain.

There are four values outlined in the strategy; Democracy, Rule of Law, Individual Liberty and Respect and Tolerance of all religions/faiths or none. These are promoted as the values of people living in Britain today.

These values are Democracy, Rule of Law, Respect and Tolerance, Individual Liberty.

Fundamental British Values underpin what it is to be a citizen in a modern and diverse Great Britain valuing our community and celebrating diversity of the UK.

Fundamental British Values are not exclusive to being British and are shared by other democratic countries as a way of creating an orderly society, where individual members can feel safe, valued and can contribute for the good of themselves and others.

These will mirror the principles and values of Total People and all the work areas that we support. These will occur throughout your programme and will be promoted by the staff with whom you come into contact.
