More about the programme

Nelli Bird explores how the UK Government’s counter radicalisation strategy, known as Prevent, is being implemented on university campuses.

Critics fear that university staff are now being asked to become the ‘eyes and ears’ of the state's security services.

But supporters of the strategy claim it is a necessary policy to safeguard students from radicalisation.

Can Prevent win the hearts and minds of students and university staff across Wales?
