Preventing vulnerable people from being drawn into Terrorism

Radicalisation is the process by which a person comes to support terrorism and extremist ideologies. If you are worried someone close to you is becoming radicalised act early and seek help. The sooner you reach out, the quicker we can protect the person you care about from being groomed and exploited by extremists.

Police forces across the country have specially trained Prevent officers who work alongside other organisations through a Home Office programme called Prevent to help people vulnerable to radicalisation move away from violent extremism. We are here to listen and offer help and advice. Receiving support is voluntary.

Friends and family are best placed to spot the signs, so trust your instincts and tell us your concerns in confidence.

We can help if you act early. You won't be wasting our time and you won’t ruin lives, but you might save them.

What is Prevent?

Prevent is part of the UK counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST. Its aim is to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Prevent addresses all forms of terrorism but prioritises according to the threat posed especially where national security is concerned. At present, the majority of UK resources and efforts are devoted to preventing people from joining, supporting or becoming inspired by groups such as DAESH (often referred to as ISIS), its affiliates and related groups but increasingly resources are directed towards the significant and concerning threat from the Far Right terrorism. Think of Prevent as safeguarding from Terrorism.

Is Terrorism really an issue in Humberside?

The communities that make up Humberside help to contribute to a safe place for the people to live and work. However no community is immune from any crime, despite the positive work by Police, partners and communities. Terrorism is a crime and as such it can be prevented, the Prevent strategy aims to continue the good work the Police, Partners and communities undertake to ensure those who are impressionable and vulnerable to influence are provided with support and intervention to divert them away from the influence of extremist messaging.

Whose responsibility is Prevent?

We all have a responsibility to prevent people from becoming involved in terrorist activity, whether as parent, colleague, friend or professional but there is extra responsibility placed on those who work within organisations who have other safeguarding responsibilities and often come into contact with the more vulnerable members of society. The Counter Terrorism & Security Act 2015 included Prevent Duty Guidance which detailed the 'duty' placed on the Police, Local Authorities, Health, Schools, Further Education, Higher Education, Prisons and the Probation service, but this shouldn’t take away the need for members of the public to remain vigilant to vulnerabilities of those they come into contact with. More recently the Government released the Prevent Duty Toolkit for Local Authorities & Partners. The toolkit supports the practical delivery of Prevent by local authorities and partner agencies by providing practical information on duty implementation, case study examples on good practice local delivery and a self-assessment framework.

What to do if you see a dog in a car on a warm day


Help a dog in a hot car
Establish the animal's health and condition. If they're displaying any signs of heatstroke dial 999 immediately.
If the situation becomes critical for the dog and the police are too far away or unable to attend, many people's instinct will be to break into the car to free the dog. If you decide to do this, please be aware that without proper justification, this could be classed as criminal damage and, potentially, you may need to defend your actions in court.
Make sure you tell the police what you intend to do and why. Take pictures or videos of the dog and the names and numbers of witnesses to the incident. The law states that you have a lawful excuse to commit damage if you believe that the owner of the property that you damage would consent to the damage if they knew the circumstances (section 5(2)(a) Criminal Damage Act 1971).Once removed, if the dog is displaying signs of heatstroke, follow our emergency first aid advice. This could mean the difference between life and death for the dog.

If the dog isn't displaying symptoms of heatstroke
Establish how long the dog has been in the car. A 'pay and display' ticket could help.
Make a note of the car's registration. If the owner returns, but you still feel the situation was dangerous for the dog, you may still report the incident to the police.

If you're at a shop, venue or event ask the staff to make an announcement to alert the owner of the situation.
If possible, get someone to stay with the dog to monitor their condition. If they begin to display signs of distress or heatstroke, be prepared to dial 999.

You can also call our 24-hour cruelty line for advice on 0300 1234 999. However, if the dog's in danger, dialing 999 should always be the first step.

Help keep our furry friends safe in the hot weather.
