Further education providers are major education and training providers for the 16 – 25-year age group, particularly young people from ethnically diverse, and socially and economically disadvantaged areas. The age and profile of our learners make it crucial to be involved in the Prevent strategy.
This policy has a part to play in fostering shared values and promoting cohesion. Training Providers should focus on the risks of violent extremism, which represents the greatest threat at national level, while recognising that other forms of violence and extremism can and do manifest themselves within colleges and other training settings.
