RADICALISATION SEPTEMBER 2018

Lesson Package RADICALISATION SYNOPSIS A resource package aimed at supporting schools to increase pupil’s awareness of radicalisation and helps them develop resilience. The pack is led by a power-point presentation, with video. A set of guidance notes leads the facilitator through the power-point presentation and contains suggestions for class activities. The Counter Terrorism and Security Act of 2015 places a duty on certain bodies to have due regard to the need to prevent terrorism. This package has been produced by Avon and Somerset Constabulary in partnership with Bristol City Council as part of their Trading with Schools materials and represents a partnership approach. The package is not specific to Bristol and may be used in any area. This lesson plan is written by qualified teachers in Bristol. The Home Office have listed it on their list of resources for countering radicalisation (Prevent) and it is listed with the Time Education Supplement website.

RADICALISATION SEPTEMBER 2018

Birth of a Terrorist – this is a video produced by Surrey Police. It tells the story of Aaron who is having difficulties in his personal life and his vulnerabilities lead to him being targeted and groomed by a terrorist organisation.

Aimed at age 11-15. You can find out more at:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4rAAI6je74&feature=youtu.be ACT for YOUTH – Run, Hide, Tell. This is collaboration between Counter Terrorism Policing, the PSHE Association (Personal, Social, Health and Economic education), Girl Guiding and St John’s Ambulance. It is a PSHE input designed to equip young people with the knowledge to help keep themselves safe in the event of a major incident or terrorist attack. The target age is 11-16.
