The purpose of Prevent is to safeguard and support vulnerable people to stop them from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Prevent is one of the four core elements of the Government's CONTEST strategy for countering terrorism. It is built around four strands, each with a number of objectives.
Pursue: to stop terrorism
Protect: to strengthen protection against a terrorist attack
Prepare: to mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack
Prevent: to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism
