Prevent in Manchester
Manchester has been a part of the Prevent programme since 2008. We work with the Community Safety Partnership to help keep our city safe.
Together we can:
- Understand the risks of terrorism and how we respond to it in Manchester.
- Protect people who may be at risk of radicalisation.
- Train staff and support local services and make it part of our work.
- Work with local groups through the RADEQUAL Network to stop hate and divide in the community.
- Help communities talk about difficult topics in a safe way.
- Support local ideas that bring people together and create positive change.
Prevent is about acting early. We want to:
- Give staff the skills and confidence to work with communities about the topic.
- Listen to people’s concerns and understand what might lead someone to extremism.
- Build trust so we can support those most at risk.
