Radicalisation

Radicalisation refers to the process by which a person comes to support terrorism and forms of extremism. It is not linked to religious beliefs.

Extremism is vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.

Schools must prevent children from being drawn into terrorism.

Speak to the DSL or a Deputy DSL if you have any concerns about a pupil. There is also a dedicated hotline for schools: 020 7340 7264.

Call 999 or the anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321 if you think a pupil is in immediate danger or is going to inflict harm.
