The Prevent Duty Today and Incel

The rise of ‘Incel’ culture has led to almost 1,000 references to dehumanising misogyny and violence on the Internet every day.

This is 8 times more than the figure reported in 2016 and shows the danger of the increasing threat of Incel today.

The Prevent Duty is essential to combat this trend and addresses a school’s obligations when it comes to the risks of Incel radicalisation.

However, how can you stay on top of a threat that continues to adapt?

During the session we will be discussing the following:

• • The Prevent Duty today
  • The Incel subculture and why schools need to know about it
  • Embedding the Prevent Duty in your school

Let us introduce you to this week's professional speaker
