Framing counter-terrorism as safeguarding is openly contested.

Evidence

The relevance of the duty for safeguarding responsibilities is emphasized in guidance for local authorities, education, childcare and health. A recent report suggests that some teachers feel more confident about their role in Prevent when it is made part of safeguarding, a duty they already understand (Busher et al. 2017). Other observers of Prevent dispute the legitimacy of using safeguarding – intended to protect vulnerable children and adults – for purposes of counter-terrorism. — A. Hussain, N.
