Prevent is a vital part of our counter -terrorism strategy to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Prevent forms part of the Government's Counter Terrorism Strategy CONTEST. The vast majority of people living in this country do not support terrorism. However, there are those who seek to promote extremist and terrorist ideologies.
