CONTEST Prevent Pursue Protect Prepare The Government’s Counter Terrorism Strategy CONTEST is designed to reduce the risk from Terrorism, so people can go about their daily lives freely and with confidence. The Four P’s Protect – to strengthen our protection against a terrorist attack Prepare – to mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack Pursue – to stop terrorist attacks Prevent – to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism Prevent Pursue Protect Prepare CONTEST was first developed by the Home Office in 2003 and a revised version was made publicly available in 2006. Protect The purpose of Protect is to strengthen protection against a terrorist attack in the UK or against its interests overseas and so reduce their vulnerability. The work focuses on border security, the transport system, national infrastructure and public places. Designing out crime Prepare The purpose of Prepare is to mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack where that attack cannot be stopped. This includes work to bring a terrorist attack to an end and to increase the UK's resilience so we can recover from its aftermath. Emergency Planning Pursue The purpose of Pursue is to stop terrorist attacks by detecting, prosecuting and otherwise disrupting those who plot to carry out attacks against the UK or its interests overseas. Prevent The purpose of Prevent is to stop people from becoming or supporting terrorism. This includes countering terrorist ideology and challenging those who promote it; supporting individuals who are especially vulnerable to becoming radicalised; and working with sectors and institutions where the risk of radicalisation is assessed to be high.

To stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. PREVENT To stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from those who promote it. Prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure they are given appropriate advice and support.

In a 2ndshooting spree that lasted more than an hour, he killed 69 people – mostly teenagers. In a manifesto he published online, BREIVIK said he was fighting to defend EUROPE from a Muslim invasion.

CHANNEL A partnership approach to support individuals vulnerable to recruitment by violent extremists. To compliment existing safeguarding mechanisms & processes in a supportive role. Supporting those at risk of being drawn into violent extremism is about diverting people away from potential threat at an early stage – which prevents then from being drawn into criminal activity. Partnership involvement ensures that vulnerable individuals have access to a wide range of support from diversionary activities through to providing specific services such as education, housing & employment. Channel exists and operates in what is referred to as the “Pre-Criminal” space
