In December, all of our students took part in a workshop based around extremism, radicalisation and terrorism. It was superbly delivered by Tim Horobin, a Prevent Delivery Officer from the Lancashire Community Safety Team. 

Tim explored these words with students, unpicked their meaning and gave recent examples to support his age-appropriate delivery. 

He reinforced the Fundamental British Values that underpin what it is to be a citizen in a modern and diverse Great Britain valuing our community and celebrating diversity.

 

-Democracy

-Rule of Law

-Mutual respect 

-Tolerance

-Individual Liberty

 

Parents and carers: radicalisation can be really difficult to spot. Signs that may indicate a child is being radicalised include:

 

-isolating themselves from family and friends

-talking as if from a scripted speech

-unwillingness or inability to discuss their views

-a sudden disrespectful attitude towards others

-increased levels of anger

-increased secretiveness, especially around internet use.
