The partnership considered a report giving an update on Prevent which was a statutory duty placed on Local Authorities via section 26 of the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015. The duty to have “due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism” rested with Safer Sefton Together.

A sub-group would deliver the majority of the work as directed by a recent health check and the Home Office Regional Advisor would continue to provide support where required. It was proposed that the sub group would report back to each SST meeting and it was therefore suggest that Prevent became a standing item on the agenda.

Arising from the discussion it was considered that it would be useful to have a High School representative on the sub group and Kevin Sexton indicated that he would pursue that.

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
