 The aim of this course is to assist staff with their understanding of radicalization and raise awareness. 

Objectives

 During this course learners will be able to:

• Recognize potential indicators of risk relating to individuals being radicalized.
• Review your professional responsibilities in relation to the safeguarding of adults, children, and young people at risk.
• Recall the term 'vulnerable' and what it means in the context of Prevent, and what vulnerabilities are exploited by terrorist groups.
• Discuss the importance of sharing information (including the consequences of failing to do so). 
• Detail the current threat level and that Prevent can be applied to all forms of terrorism, present or emerging.
• Raise concerns and take action when you have concerns; make referrals within your organization, and with other agencies where appropriate; and make referrals into the Channel process and Prevent Case Management.

Learning Outcomes

 After completing this course the learner will gain an understanding of:

• The objectives of the Prevent strategy and the health sector contribution to the Prevent agenda.
• How to recognize influence, and understand the concepts of polarization and the use of narratives and ideology.
• How to support and redirect vulnerable individuals at risk of being groomed into terrorist-related activities.
• Who to contact and where to seek advice if there are concerns about an individual who may be being groomed into terrorist activity.
• Radicalization uses normal social processes and the 'power of influence' on all.
