The Prevent Duty
Schools have a responsibility to safeguard pupils who are susceptible to radicalisation into terrorism. This short video gives more information.
If you’re worried your child is being exposed to extremist influences or has been radicalised, talking to them might be daunting. Here are some ways to make it easier.
It’s important to think about where and how to raise the subject of extremism with your child. Choose a place your child feels at ease. Make it a time when you’re unlikely to be interrupted.
Make the conversation relevant. For example, if you both see something on TV about extremism, you could ask your child what they would do if they ever found themselves in that situation. Or, to show that you value their opinion, you could say that a friend of yours needs advice about extremism. Ask what they think. Find out how much they know about the subject.
