Worried about Radicalisation? Attend a Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent (WRAP)
What is WRAP?
The Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent (WRAP) is a free, 90-minute workshop designed to improve awareness
of the Prevent strategy: the strand of the government’s national Counter-Terrorism Strategy which seeks to offer safeguarding support to vulnerable individuals at risk of radicalisation. Training sessions explore topics such as radicalisation and vulnerability, how some people are able to influence others, a discussion around how to spot the signs that someone might need some form of safeguarding help and support, how to safely refer an individual for specialised support and the forms of support that can be provided once this has occurred.
We encourage and welcome all individuals who work or volunteer in a frontline role to attend one of our WRAP training sessions. It is also worth noting that the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act, passed by Parliament in February 2015, places a statutory requirement on the Council (and organisations commissioned by the Council) to
“have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism.” For organisations commissioned by the Council, ensuring that frontline staff attend an accredited WRAP training session is necessary to ensure that they are compliant with this requirement.
Individuals can either attend one of our regularly booked training sessions (dates provided below) or, for teams
counting 15 or more members of staff, the Bi-Borough Prevent team can also run bespoke sessions on your place of
work in order to minimise any disruption to your activities.
To register for a session or to schedule a bespoke training session please email prevent2@lbhf.gov.uk

· 15th November 2016 (13.30 – 15:00), Hammersmith Town Hall

Electric and Gas SMART readers are being rolled out across the UK now. Every household will have the opportunity to upgrade to a smart meter, at no additional cost, by 2020. Everyone will have a chance to decide whether they wish to have a SMART meter installed by their provider and now is probably a good time to think about any pros and cons.
Here are a few points to help you make the right decision for you:
– Smart meters will bring an end to estimated bills and show us how much energy we’re using in near real time and in pounds and pence.
– You will receive an in-house display, which shows exactly how much energy you’re using, as you use it.
– If you change suppliers your (1st generation) SMART meter will lose its smart features.
– Your SMART meter will be installed by a trained installer at NO EXTRA COST.
– The installer should spend time with you explaining how to operate the in-house display so that you can use it confidently on your own.
– The installation will take approximately 1 hour.
– When you are eligible depends on many factors and your supplier will be in touch when your smart meter is ready to be installed (before 2020).
In the future:
If you would like to receive further information on SMART meters please contact:
