Preventing Extremism and Tackling Radicalisation in Schools 2016

Wednesday 25 May 2016
London
Legal guidance and practical strategies to safeguard pupils against the threat of extremism and appropriately react when fears surface

Why is this conference relevant?

New legal duties under the Prevent Agenda and the Counter Terrorism Act 2015 place an unfamiliar responsibility on you to prevent your students being drawn into terrorism and to raise the alarm over children and young people you feel are at risk of radicalisation.

With the age of children being drawn into extremism decreasing and the amount of Channel referrals rising consistently, are you and your school well equipped to react quickly to new threats facing your students?
