Prevent duty training: Learn how to support people susceptible to radicalisation
The Home Office has produced an eLearning package open to all to help people working in sectors covered by the Prevent duty to understand the risks of radicalisation and the vulnerabilities of those at risk. The aim of the training is to ensure people know how to support and safeguard them from those who want to exploit them into terrorism or supporting terrorism.

ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training
Devised by counter terrorism officers and security experts, the ACT Awareness eLearning package is available for free to anyone who wants to become a CT Citizen so they can learn how to spot the signs of suspicious behaviour and understand what to do in the event of a major incident.
ACT Awareness is made up of seven modules that take a few minutes each to complete. You can pause and re-join at any time. In total it takes just 45 minutes - so less than an hour of your time could help to prevent an attack or help save lives if one was to happen.
