Radicalisation refers to the process by which a person comes to support terrorism and forms of extremism. It is not linked to religious beliefs.


Schools must prevent children from being drawn into terrorism.

Speak to the DSL or a Deputy DSL if you have any concerns about a pupil. There is also a dedicated hotline for schools: 020 7340 7264.

Call 999 or the anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321 if you think a pupil is in immediate danger or is going to inflict harm.
