Prevent is part of the government’s counter-terrorism strategy, and aims to educate and safeguard those who may be vulnerable to radicalisation. This training will help you identify the signs of radicalisation and how people develop sympathies with extreme ideologies, as well as how to raise the alarm and ensure early intervention.
The session will cover: –
- What is Terrorism, Extremism, Radicalisation and Ideology?
- Different extremist groups: LASIT (left wing anarchist single issue terrorism); extreme right wing; Islamist
- Spotting signs of Radicalisation: who could be vulnerable to radicalisation? Toolkit to identifying radicalisation – Behaviours and vulnerabilities
