Radicalisation & extremism policy

This Radicalisation and Extremism Policy aims to safeguard children from the risk of radicalisation through early identification, prevention strategies, and clear reporting procedures. The policy supports staff in recognising early warning signs, such as changes in behaviour, language, or beliefs, and responding appropriately. It promotes a safe, inclusive environment where children feel valued and encouraged to express views respectfully. Any concerns must be reported promptly in line with safeguarding and statutory guidance, including referrals to relevant authorities where necessary. Staff are expected to challenge extremist ideas appropriately, maintain confidentiality, and work in partnership with families and external agencies to protect children’s wellbeing and promote resilience.
