  1. Prevent Agenda 12th February 2016

  2. Reminder – what is prevent? • Since the ‘Education and Inspections Act 2006’ schools have a duty to promote community cohesion. • Over the last few years, global events have led to a growth of extremist viewpoints, including advocacy of violent extremism. • In March 2015, new statutory duties were placed on schools by the Counter Terrorism and Security Act (2015) which means they must work to prevent children being drawn into extremism. • Safeguarding children from all risks of harm is an important part of a school’s work and protecting them from extremism is one aspect of that.

  3. Current problems schools are facing Terrorism/extremism is a constant in the media. • This could lead to: • Students being attracted towards ISIS groups Or • Students being attracted to other far right extremist groups/views

  4. What we are doing as a school? • Channel training for all staff - September • PHSE programme during desegregated days and tutor time on British Values, Extremism, how to identify propaganda. • Anti-radicalisation policy (emailed to all staff) • Staff training on signs of vulnerability, how to recognise extremism and what to do in the event of a referral.

  8. How social media is used • Propaganda – four main themes: image of success, status and belonging, personal duty. • YouTube – dummy accounts • Facebook • Twitter – remaining anonymous • Ask.Fm – support for Syrian travel • Instagram – life in Syria, photosets • Tumblr – blogs about Syria • Private messaging – peer to peer networks

  9. Signs of vulnerability There are no known definitive indicators that a young person is vulnerable to radicalisation, but there are number of signs that together increase the risk. Signs of vulnerability include: change in behaviour extremist influences conflict with family over lifestyle confused identify victim or witness to race or hate crimes rejection by peers, family, social groups or faith • underachievement • being in possession of extremist literature • poverty • social exclusion • traumatic events • global or national events • religious conversion

  10. Recognising extremism Early indicators of radicalisation or extremism may include: secretive behaviour online searches or sharing extremist messages or social profiles intolerance of difference, including faith, culture, gender, race or sexuality graffiti, art work or writing that displays extremist themes attempts to impose extremist views or practices on others verbalising anti-Western or anti-British views advocating violence towards others • showing sympathy for extremist causes • glorifying violence, especially to other faiths or cultures • making remarks or comments about being at extremist events or rallies outside school • evidence of possessing illegal or extremist literature • advocating messages similar to illegal organisations or other extremist groups • out of character changes in dress, behaviour and peer relationships (but there are also very powerful narratives, programmes and networks that young people can come across online)
