Teenagers have been identified as people who are, in particular, targeted by extremist or terrorist-related organisations.

The government has a strategy in place, called ‘Prevent’, which aims to support and safeguard those between 14 and 19 years old from the risks of terrorism and extreme views linked to it.

Surrey Police is carrying out a survey at schools and colleges throughout Reigate and Banstead as part of an anti-terrorism process.

They want to find out how much young people know about the strategy; how to report concerns and access support networks.

The survey is being conducted over the next 6 weeks.

For more information on Prevent you can go to the Government website:
