Prevent in North Tyneside

The focus of prevent in North Tyneside is: To keep children and adults safe from being drawn into terrorism.

We work with individuals and communities before a crime has been committed and to safeguard and support the most vulnerable from being radicalised.

Prevent is supported by three objectives: 

• Responding to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from those who promote it (ideology);
• Preventing people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure that they are given appropriate advice and support (individuals); and
• Working with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation which we need to address (institutions).

If you suspect it, report it.

This involves delivering training and raising awareness of Prevent so that the signs of radicalisation can be recognised in individuals showing concerning behaviour.
