Decision details

Cabinet considered the annual PREVENT report of the Director of Adults’ Health and Care.

The report was introduced and it was noted that its purpose was to update and provide oversight of national and local events. Specifically the recent murder of an MP and the Liverpool hospital bombing had raised the national threat level. Locally there had been an increase in the number of cases being considered. Within the County Council, e-learning training on extremism had been undertaken by 93% of the workforce. Cabinet welcomed the update and recognising the role of social media, highlighted the importance and need for such platforms to take responsibility for their content.

The recommendations in the report were considered and agreed. A decision
