Training a team? We can help.
Many care providers, NHS teams and employers use our eLearning to keep staff training current. A business account lets you buy courses in bulk, assign them to staff and track completion in one place. That gives you a clear record for audits and inspections.
Since 2008, Medipro has trained thousands of health and care professionals in the classroom and online. We can help you build a training plan that mixes eLearning with practical, tutor-led courses at our Stockton-on-Tees centre.
Staff should also know your own organisation’s safeguarding and referral procedures.
Who has to follow the Prevent duty?
The duty applies to specified authorities under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. These include education, health, local authority, police, prison and probation services. The Home Office Prevent duty guidance sets out what each sector should do.
Is Prevent duty training online enough for my role?
It gives staff a sound awareness of Prevent. Some roles, such as designated safeguarding leads, may need further training. Check your sector guidance and your employer’s policy.
How often should Prevent training be refreshed?
There is no fixed legal expiry. Many employers refresh this training annually or every 1–3 years, depending on policy. Schools often align it with their safeguarding training cycle.
