Teenagers have been identified as people who are, in particular, targeted by extremist or terrorist-related organisations.

The government has a strategy in place, called ‘Prevent’, which aims to support and safeguard those between 14 and 19 years old from the risks of terrorism and extreme views linked to it.

Surrey Police is carrying out a survey at schools and colleges throughout Reigate and Banstead as part of an anti-terrorism process.

They want to find out how much young people know about the strategy; how to report concerns and access support networks.

The survey is being conducted over the next 6 weeks.

For more information on Prevent you can go to the Government website:

Getting employees in Crawley a living wage is now one of the Council’s top priorities.

Earlier this year the council was accredited as a living wage employer and it’s now focusing on encouraging other employers to pay those who work for them a decent wage as well.
Being a Living Wage employer means paying staff a minimum of £7.65 per hour, £1.15 per hour more than the Government’s minimum wage of £6.50.
