Aims
In Practice
Swale Young People recognises its duty to protect young people from indoctrination into any form of extreme ideology which may lead to the harm of themselves or others. This is particularly important because of the open access to information through the internet. We aim to safeguard young people through educating them on the appropriate use of social media and the dangers of downloading and sharing inappropriate material which is illegal under the Counter-Terrorism Act. We check all visitors and partners and will take firm action if any individual or group is perceived to be attempting to influence our young people, either physically or electronically. Staff and volunteers are trained to be vigilant for spotting signs of extremist view and behaviour which may cause concern.
- To ensure staff are aware of the Prevent Strategy and are able to protect young people who are vulnerable or at risk of being radicalised.
In Practice

- Make referrals to the relevant authorities if we believe a young person is being or is vulnerable to, radicalisation.
