What is Extremism and Radicalisation?

Extremism has many forms and promotes different ideas, but the radicalisation journey is often very similar. It can lead to someone adopting violent views, breaking the law and even committing acts of terrorism

Any idea can be taken to an extreme, but the type of extremism this section focuses on is when ideas and opinions lead to violence, aggression and in some cases, death.

Radicalisation is the process of someone developing extremist views, which can be dangerous to the safety of human beings. These views can be influenced by external agencies and / or people.

What are our Aims?

Our Academy wants to PREVENT young people from being radicalised and / or drawn into terrorist groups. Working together and advocating the word RESPECT is a vital part of this process.

 

 

 

 

Why is education about Extremism and Radicalisation Important?
