Counter Terrorism Strategy - Contest, and Prevent
Contest is the UK's counter-terrorism strategy. It aims to reduce the risk from terrorism so that people can go about their lives freely and with confidence. Contest has 4 strands:
- Pursue: investigate and disrupt terrorist attacks
- Prevent: stop people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism
- Protect: improve our protective security to stop a terrorist attack
- Prepare: work to minimise the impact of an attack and to recover as quickly as possible
Read advice about being vigilant and knowing what to report on the ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) website. You can also visit the CitizenAID website to find out what to do in an emergency.
Prevent
The Prevent strategy is focused on safeguarding people from radicalisation or extremism. This includes work to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.
Kent County Council have the lead role in delivering the Prevent strategy in Kent in accordance with the Prevent duty guidance and are working with partners such as the Police, health and the district councils.
We all have a responsibility to keep our county and the people in it safe.
Extremism and radicalisation in our community are very real threats to our society and being aware is the first step.
You can help to reduce the threat from terrorism, radicalisation and extremism by being vigilant, knowing what to report and reporting it.
