Hampshire PREVENT Partnership Board
The PREVENT Partnership Board is made up of a wide range of organisations across Hampshire whose remit is to oversee, coordinate and monitor PREVENT work at the local level. The PREVENT Partnership Board is chaired by Hampshire County Council and it has produced a local strategy and multi-agency action plan. The PREVENT Partnership Board meets every three months to monitor progress against the agreed action plan. The PREVENT Partnership Board works to the following objectives:
- To provide a consistent and coordinated response across Hampshire to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat posed by those who promote it.
- To provide leadership and direction across the area on PREVENT issues including the development and publication of a local strategy and action plan.
- To organise and facilitate multi-agency PREVENT Board meetings
- To ensure the PREVENT agenda is addressed as appropriate in other relevant strategic plans and strategies.
- To have oversight of PREVENT activity across the area ensuring this is consistent with the aims of the national strategy as well as statutory requirements and guidance.
- To ensure frontline staff have a good understanding of PREVENT and are trained to recognise vulnerability to being drawn into terrorism and are aware of available programmes to deal with this issue.
- To act as a mechanism for holding local agencies to account for their work aimed at reducing the risk of people becoming radicalised or supporting violent extremism ensuring this work is effective, coordinated and based on strong partnership working.
