London Grid for Learning
Resources on this site which can aid in policy, practice and implementation of Prevent in education settings:
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.
