Prevent

The School's response to the Prevent duty

Legal duties under the government's Prevent programme, which comes under its counter-terrorism strategy, came into force for the first time in universities in England, Wales and Scotland on 18 September 2015. These duties are set out in statutory guidance accompanying the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. Since April 2018, the Office for Students has acted as our regulator for the Prevent duty. The School's Prevent Lead is the School Secretary.
