Get advice and support if you're worried about someone supporting terrorism

If you're concerned that an individual may be susceptible to being drawn into terrorism or supporting terrorism, advice and support from the Prevent Lead Officer in Brighton & Hove City Council or Counter Terrorism Police South East (CTPSE):

To contact the Prevent team at the CTPSE send an email to SussexPrevent@thamesvalley.police.uk.

By getting advice or support from Prevent, you can help to stop the person you're worried about from becoming a danger to themself or others.

If you're experiencing pressure from others about supporting extremism or terrorism, tell someone you trust.
