Prevent Duty

At UEL, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all. This means being considerate, caring and kind, as well as rejecting discrimination, prejudice and hate.

Under the Counterterrorism and Security Act 2015, universities must have ‘due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism’– this is our Prevent Duty.

In response to the Prevent Duty, University of East London has developed Prevent Policy and Prevent Action Plan.

In accordance with the obligation of the CTSA and the Revised Prevent duty guidance for England and Wales, the University undertakes a Prevent Risk Assessment yearly or as required and reviews its Prevent Action Plan accordingly.

For further information on explaining prevent to staff and students, please visit the Department for Education webpages.

If you have any concerns in relation to Prevent Duty, please contact the University’s Prevent Coordinator via prevent@uel.ac.uk.
