Radicalisation & The Prevent Duty – Advanced (Zoom)

From: £370.00 3 hours

Description

Radicalisation & The Prevent Duty

Course Overview

Under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act of 2015, "specified authorities" are legally required to consider the need to prevent individuals from being drawn into terrorism. This requirement is referred to as the Prevent Duty.

This course offers a comprehensive introduction to identifying and supporting young people at risk of radicalisation. The focus shifts from policing to safeguarding, treating radicalisation as a harm akin to grooming or child sexual exploitation. Participants will learn how to navigate the ideological landscape of modern extremism and master the "Notice, Check, Share" referral process.

"Prevent is not about stopping people from having political or religious views. It is about protecting vulnerable people from being exploited into criminal activity and violence".

Learning Aims

Know the Process of Radicalisation

Navigate Ideologies: Understand the current threat landscape, including Extreme Right-Wing, Islamist, and "Incel" or "Mixed/Unclear" ideologies.

  • Push and Pull Factors: Why young people are targeted (e.g., search for identity, online grooming, or perceived grievances).
  • The Online Space: How algorithms and "echo chambers" accelerate radicalisation in gaming and social media.

Identifying Risk (Notice, Check, Share)

Identify Vulnerabilities: Recognise the personal, social, and environmental factors that make a young person susceptible to extremist narratives.

  • Behavioural Indicators: Moving beyond stereotypes—what does a change in baseline behaviour look like?
  • Vulnerability Assessment: Using the "Vulnerability Assessment Framework" (Engagement, Intent, and Capability).

Intervention & Support (The Channel Programme)

Interpret the Law: Understand the statutory requirements of the CTSA 2015 and the three core objectives of the Prevent strategy.

  • What is Channel? A deep dive into the voluntary, multi-agency support programme.
  • The Referral Journey: From "Notice" to the Channel Panel.
  • Confidentiality & Consent: Balancing data sharing with the duty of care.

Format: This is a live training session through Zoom. It includes taught sections, small-group work, pair work, and whole-group discussion.

This course is for Foster Carers and Adopters as well as their Supervising Social Workers. It is also suitable for Residential Child Care Workers (RCCW) and residential team managers from mainstream, short-breaks and outreach services.

Empowering Safety: Bespoke Safeguarding & Child Protection Training

Why Choose Bespoke Training?

Generic training can leave staff feeling unprepared for the real-life scenarios they face. Our tailored approach ensures the content, delivery method, and case studies are directly relevant to your sector (e.g., education, healthcare, sport, charity, corporate), your local policies, and the specific vulnerabilities and risks present in your community.

Our Specialised Training Pillars

We design engaging, practical, and compliant training across three core areas:

  • For Professionals Working with Children (Child Protection): Focuses on recognising the signs of abuse and neglect, statutory guidance (e.g., Working Together to Safeguard Children), robust reporting procedures, and the creation of a safe, child-focused culture.
  • For Professionals Working with Adults (Adult Safeguarding): Focuses on the principles of the Care Act, understanding different types of harm, promoting wellbeing, Mental Capacity Act (MCA) considerations, and ensuring person-led safeguarding responses.
  • Blended Cohorts (Safeguarding for All Ages): Ideal for organisations whose staff or volunteers interact with both children and adults (e.g., community centres, housing associations, religious organisations). This training highlights the common principles of good practice while clearly delineating the different legal frameworks, signs of harm, and reporting routes for each demographic.

Invest in training that transforms knowledge into action. Equip your team with the confidence and competence to protect those in your care proactively.

Need more time?

We recognise that sometimes groups need more time for discussions and group work. This can mean that a two-hour session is just not long enough to explore the curriculum and engage in question and answer sessions. So we are you offering the opportunity to extend the session by an hour to allow your trainees the chance to explore the curriculum fully!
