The Prevent Duty

Prevent Duty

The Prevent duty aims to safeguard people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. The Prevent duty applies to organisations in receipt of public funding, and/or registered as a provider of Higher Education with the Office for Students.

Our Prevent Duty Policy outlines the steps that we take to ensure that freedom of speech and academic integrity is preserved, whilst creating an environment that guides and supports students.
