On Behalf of The Prevent Team

New resource for teachers to empower young people –
The Prevent Team would like to introduce you to the following resource which is now available on the Educate Against Hate website. Amidst increasing reports of extremist content online during the pandemic, and a recent Ofcom study showing that 20% of child gamers chat to strangers, it is vital that young people understand the law and are clear about the risks, and their responsibilities online.
Going Too Far? is a new resource jointly developed by the Department for Education and London Grid for Learning to help teachers promote critical thinking and build resilience to extremism.
This is a practical resource for teachers to empower young people to:
- Recognise examples of extremist behaviour and content online
- Understand actions which could be identified as criminal activity
- Explore techniques used for persuasion and build resilience through critical thinking
- Access support from trusted individuals and organisations
Each section includes:
- Starter videos featuring experts or case studies
- Scenario-based activities to promote discussion and reflection
- Guidance to facilitate discussions in an age-appropriate way and consolidate learning
If you would like any help to deliver this please do get in touch we would be happy to assist. Email: karmjit.rekhi@hounslow.gov.uk
