Prevent Radicalisation and Extremism Training

The Action Counters Terrorism organisation outlined the four stages those going through the radicalisation process are likely to experience: 

• Pre-Radical - this is a very early stage and it is likely the individual will not have been exposed to any extremist content but they will be aware of extremism groups and start to identify with some of their beliefs
• Self-Identify - in the second stage the individual is likely to have begun accepting the belifs of the group or individual that is radicalising them
• Indoctrination - the penultimate stage of the radicalisation process is where the individual is groomed by an extremist organisation or individual and their beliefs in extremist views become stronger as they head down the path towards terrorism
• Terrorism - the final stage of the process is where the individual starts carrying our terrorist acts or is involved is acts of terrorism

Professionals and those responsible for children and vulnerable adults need to be aware of the common signs of radicalisation and these include: 

• An individual starts to isolate themselves from their friends and/or family and becomes increasingly withdrawn
• Individuals can also become very secretive about who they are spending their time with or talking to online
• Another common sign is the individual becoming very outspoken and aggressive in their beliefs and opinions

Extremism means when a child, young person or adult becomes vocal or provides active opposition to the fundamental values of being a British citizen. 

These fundamental values include individual liberty, democracy, the rule of law and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.

This online course consists of a series of pages in which an instructor will talk learners through the lesson material. Pages may include supporting pictures, graphs, animation or extra sounds to help with the learning where appropriate. Some lessons will include challenges/quizzes to help learners stay engaged and interested in the material. Lessons can be taken in any order and each lesson may be paused and resumed at any stage.

The course is self-paced so learners decide how fast or slow the training goes. There is no deadline for completion but some of our courses have a test at the end to check that learners have understood the material. If the course has a test at the end then learners are required to achieve a 75% pass mark to successfully complete the course. Once learners have passed the test they are awarded a certificate, which can either be downloaded digitally or sent as a physical copy if this option was chosen when purchasing the course.

Upon completion of any of our courses, learners will be able to download a digital certificate from Virtual College which will include the accrediting bodies logo where applicable, the learner's name, the title of the course and the date of completion.

If you have purchased the posted certificate option, available on selected courses, a high quality, seal embossed, certificate will be sent out the following working week after completion.
