… and a taste of the event:
On Wednesday, 19 November 2025, the City of London Police Prevent Team will be hosting their third Vulnerability Awareness Conference.
The conference will be held at ‘The Studio’ 37 Brushfield Street, E1 6AA, from 0900 – 1400 with breakfast and lunch provided and time for networking and meeting the CoLP Prevent Team.
In an ever changing and complex counter terrorism landscape, extremist narratives, fuelled by online platforms and global events can easily reach vulnerable individuals, making early intervention and safeguarding more critical than ever.
Speakers in attendance at this important event include a victim of the Manchester arena terror attack, the Head of Prevent for London and the South East and officers from Thames Valley Police, who will be sharing a case study on a Prevent/Counter Terrorism investigation which they led.
