However, Channel interventions can take place anywhere, regardless of whether or not that place has been designated as a priority area. Channel is completely confidential and open. The person at risk is approached and can decline to take part in any intervention.
UK - Channel guidance external website. The council has created a programme of awareness-raising and training for all its staff, especially those who may come into contact with vulnerable groups, to make sure that they are aware of what to look for and how to support individuals.
This includes training to identify potential radicalisation and extremist behaviour and how to then refer this, if necessary, through the support and safeguarding process, known as Channel. The council is working with the Police, health services, schools and colleges, prison and probation services and local voluntary and community organisations, as appropriate, to coordinate this work and help reduce the risk of extremism and radicalisation in the East Riding.
This multi-agency way of working is supported by detailed action plans that aim to reduce the risk in this area of extremist action and stopping vulnerable residents from being drawn into radical behaviour.

My Account. Home Living Crime and community safety Preventing terrorism. Preventing terrorism. What is counter-terrorism? How will this counter-terrorism strategy be put into practice? What is being done to protect those most at risk from being exploited or recruited by terrorists? How do I report my concerns about someone who is at risk of being exploited or recruited by terrorists? UK: GOV. Pursue The Pursue part of the strategy is about stopping terrorist attacks in the UK and against our interest overseas.
Prevent The Prevent part of the strategy is all about working with partners to stop people becoming exploited or radicalised to all forms of terrorism. Protect The Protect part of the strategy is about reducing the risks for terrorist activities to be successful or cause harm. Prepare The Prepare part of the strategy is about reducing the impact of a terrorist attack where that attack cannot be stopped. Take, for example, airport security. In many airports, security is tighter than ever, often to the annoyance of travelers who feel they are subjected to overly intrusive measures.
As we introduce the latest ones and train staff on their use, we must always be aware that Al-Qaeda and other groups are probably working on new methods of evasion. All this relies on information and technology, both often in short supply in parts of the world where it can take weeks to repair a broken X-ray machine. Countless men and women are on the beat every day all over the world, determined to prevent terrorists and other criminals from carrying out their plans.
Think of border guards patrolling long and remote frontiers in inhospitable terrain, police officers following leads that span multiple countries, prosecutors combing through endless piles of evidence. Knowing that proper training, better equipment, and access to more information would help them immeasurably, we work towards bringing these tools to them. When a country's defences are breached and a terrorist attack succeeds, we are immediately reminded of the real cost of this scourge, notably human pain, loss, and suffering.
The images of the latest bombed vehicle or building flickering on our television screens may fade in our memories, but the pain of survivors, families of victims, and affected communities does not go away so easily. These people must not be forgotten, and we in the United Nations should continue to advocate for their interests and dignity. Their stories speak loudly for humanity and justice, and are an important part of countering terrorist propaganda.
It is clear that Governments alone cannot deal with this challenge. Countries with truly effective counter-terrorism strategies recognize the value of involving local communities, the private sector, the media, and other groups in society. They also encourage the exchange of intelligence, information, and expertise between national agencies and across borders.
The broader the response, the more effective it is likely to be. The road ahead Over the past ten years, we have seen states try a variety of approaches to reduce the chance of terrorists succeeding. The United Nations has provided guidance and support in their endeavors, focusing on areas where we have a comparative advantage. As a leader in the global fight against terrorism, our Organization will continue to press Governments to adopt comprehensive national strategies that balance hard-end security measures with social, economic, and community-driven policies that are grounded in the rule of law.
The truth is that measures that try to take shortcuts or are not respectful of international human rights norms can actually undermine the collective effort by bolstering resentment in parts of the community and providing grist for terrorist groups' propaganda mills. In the coming years, we will do more to help countries improve their internal coordination and their cooperation with neighbours. But breaking down institutional barriers and building trust between competing agencies as well as across borders takes time.
The regional and global events we organize aim to facilitate those processes, giving professionals an opportunity to meet face to face and brainstorm on good practices. Given the complexity, strong coordination and cooperation within national governments and between states and organizations at the regional and international level is essential to effectively combat terrorism. Moreover, the ability to successfully address the challenges depends on the capacity of national criminal justice systems to administer fair and effective justice for perpetrators of terrorist crimes, and to undertake effective preventive measures in accordance with the rule of law.
UNODC supports national efforts in strengthening and developing legislative frameworks, policies and strategies against terrorism and its financing, in line with international conventions and protocols and human rights principles and rule-of-law based standards.
