Social Work and the Prevent Duty
An overview for practitioners
Social workers have responsibilities under the Prevent Duty - a statutory duty held by professionals who come into contact with those considered to be ‘vulnerable to radicalisation’.
This overview explains what these responsibilities are, the legislation behind them and some of the significant issues. It was put together by Molly Manister, who as part of her wider research into the Prevent Duty and social work, has assembled in one short document the key facts and issues.
