Kwabena I hear your Regional Coordinator is amazing? 😊😂 I do apologise but couldn't resist. I don't access this email address very often and never got around to taking myself off this list. Would be grateful if someone could advise me how to do that?

Compliance with the duty will also require the institution to demonstrate that it is willing to undertake Prevent awareness training and other training that could help the relevant staff prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and challenge extremist ideas which risk drawing people into terrorism. We would expect appropriate members of staff to have an understanding of the factors that make people support terrorist ideologies or engage in terrorist-related activity. Such staff should have sufficient training to be able to recognise vulnerability to being drawn into terrorism, and be aware of what action to take to take in response. This will include an understanding of when to make referrals to the Channel programme and where to get additional advice and support. ________________________________ The information in this email is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee.
