Ronald Reagan
“The most terrifying words to hear…

CTSA
The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act places Prevent on a statutory footing.
Places a duty on “specified authorities” (including universities, colleges and some Private providers) to have “due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”
It aims to drive consistency, higher standards and ensure an essential consideration of Prevent issues across the whole country.
