Stay safe in very hot weather

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Prevent

The Prevent programme supports people who are at risk of becoming involved with terrorism through radicalisation, to make Islington a safer place.

Radicalisation and extremism are serious risks to Islington. We developed the Prevent programme in response to the Government’s Contest strategy (2023).

We focus on working with schools, community, police and security services to identify and protect vulnerable individuals or groups from being radicalised or getting into extremism.

Seeing signs of radicalisation

The Educate Against Hate website explains any possible signs of radicalisation.

Call 999 if there is an immediate risk to safety.
