PREVENT POLICY FOR STUDENTS

 There is an ongoing threat of terrorism throughout the UK

 People in Britain are being recruited by terrorist groups

 The government thinks local services could do more to identify and safeguard those at risk

 The government is making the prevention of terrorism a legal duty for all public bodies,
including all education providers

 Birmingham College is subject to inspection by The Department for Business, Innovation &
Skills (BIS). An unsatisfactory inspection report on an organisation’s Prevent policies and
implementation can lead to the College closing.

Student Responsibility:

As a student you play a crucial role in helping the community to recognise any vulnerable
students who might be drawn to extremism.

If you suspect or think that any of your friends or students may have very strong political views or
are often vocal towards any acts against humanity or support groups like ISIS you should tell a
member of staff.

Reporting concerns and Safeguarding

You can report any suspicious behaviour to any member of staff or local people.

The Prevent leads are the Alison Breen (a.breen@bcol.co.uk) and Rafael Salguero
