Safeguarding Children and Young People Vulnerable to Radicalisation and Extremism - Practice Guidance

The current threat from terrorism in the United Kingdom can involve the exploitation of vulnerable people, including children, young people and vulnerable adults to involve them in terrorism or activity in support of terrorism.

It is universally agreed that this exploitation should be viewed as a safeguarding concern.

This guidance is intended to provide a clear framework for all professionals working with children for whom there are concerns that they are at risk of becoming involved in violent extremist activity.

A message from Andy Burnham, Brendan Cox and Sir Richard Leese - Invite to a special Get Together in Manchester this Friday

“Dear Friends,
We know that after the horrific events of the last few weeks Greater Manchester has shown incredible strength in the face of unspeakable evil.

Mancunians, Londoners and everyone in the country are grieving following the attacks, but we have shown a determination not to be divided as the extremists want. Instead we will come together to build even stronger communities.
