The risk of extreme political violence, radicalisation and terrorism is one which can affect higher-education establishments as much as any other part of society.

HM Government’s ‘Prevent’ Strategy places responsibilities on the University for safeguarding students and others, to keep them safe and within the law.

The University requires all staff to complete a mandatory ‘Prevent’ training course that provides guidance for reporting concerns confidentially, with the aim of protecting individuals who may be vulnerable or troubled from being drawn into political violence or terrorism.

You can view more information on the University’s ‘Prevent’ arrangements.

There is also a homepage that lists the range of Health and Safety risks identified as relevant to the University's activities and facilities, together with information on the University's policies and arrangements on how these risks are to be managed and controlled.
