London Grid for Learning

Resources on this site which can aid in policy, practice and implementation of Prevent in education settings:

LGfL: Implement Prevent

Continuing the theme of excellent resources, one that may not have come across your radar is Going Too Far, a collaboration between the London Grid for Learning and the DfE. The resource, although aimed at younger learners, may be exceedingly useful as a conversation starter or adapted for use with 16-18 cohorts in particular. Going Too Far looks at extremist content online - a subject you'll be familiar with from my training sessions - including how to recognise it, when it crosses into criminality, and where to get support. There are multiple case studies, resources, and a section for SEND learners too.

Online staff prevent awareness training for education

East Midlands Regional Prevent Coordinator is continuing to hold online prevent awareness sessions for staff in the new year using MS Teams. The sessions cover all of the important issues that staff need to know for Prevent (what is Prevent?, What is radicalisation? Case study example, Common signs of vulnerability & radicalisation, Current threat level & the main risks from terrorism & extremism).

The session is suitable for all education sector organisations but is particularly useful for smaller organisations who may struggle to provide a more detailed Prevent input to smaller staff cohorts. You can use this training for new staff in all education based organisations or for those staff who need a more detailed insight or update.

Attendance certificates will continue to be sent to delegates who appear in the MS Teams attendance list. For this reason it is important that people register giving their names & a normal business email address.
