Tackling terrorism, together!

The Prevent Strategy is a cross-Government policy that forms one of the four strands of CONTEST: the United Kingdom’s Strategy for Counter Terrorism. It includes the anti-radicalisation of vulnerable adults and children.

CONTEST as a counter-terrorism strategy is organised around four work streams, each comprising a number of key objectives:

PURSUE: To stop terrorist attacks;

PREVENT: To stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism;

PROTECT: To strengthen our protection against a terrorist attack; and

PREPARE: To mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack.
