City of London Corporation Prevent Strategy 2015/16

The Government’s Counter Terrorism and Security Act, published in 2015, places a duty on local authorities (along with various other public bodies) to “have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism.” This duty applies to the Common Council in the exercise of its functions as a local authority and as a police authority.

The City of London Prevent Strategy 2015/16 has been developed in response to this requirement and sets out how the City Corporation will fulfil this new duty. This is presented as a separately printed and circulated report and we recommend its adoption.
