Bury Council reserves the right, in its discretion, not to hire meeting rooms to organisations or individuals that do not confirm to Prevent guidelines around responsible booking guidance or where it is not satisfied that the safety of the buildings and public can be ensured.
The National Prevent Duty places a mandatory requirement that Bury Council to ensure that publicly owned venues and resources do not provide a platform for extremists and are not used to disseminate extremist views.
Bury Council ensure their venues are not used by those whose views would draw people into terrorism, by ensuring that rigorous booking systems are in place and staff responsible for them are trained to know what to do if they have suspicions.
This includes ensuring venues or IT equipment are not used by speakers and groups who spread extremist narratives which could reasonably be linked to terrorism.
Multi-agency partners in Bury work together to reduce permissive environments and the risk of people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.
