Channel

Channel is a key part of the Government’s Prevent Strategy which aims to stop people from being drawn into terrorist-related activity.

Many organisations are subject to the Prevent Duty which requires them to ‘Have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism.’

Violent extremism is a real threat to all communities. Violent extremists actively aim to damage community relations and create division. It is vital and a legal duty that we all work together to support those who are vulnerable in this way.
