Preventing radicalisation
This 40-minute course provides essential training based on the Prevent duty guidance and KCSIE 2026. Use it to make sure staff know how to keep children safe from the threat of radicalisation, spot the signs, and tackle extremist views at school.
Who it's for
All staff, volunteers, contractors and governors/trustees
On 24 September 2026, the DfE updated its non-statutory guidance the Prevent duty: safeguarding learners susceptible to radicalisation.
Rest assured that our course remains accurate in its current form, as it’s based on the statutory Prevent duty guidance from the Home Office, which hasn’t changed. Our course is also fully in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2026.
We will be reviewing our content on preventing radicalisation, including this eLearning course, against the DfE’s non-statutory guidance in the coming weeks.
This course covers everything your staff need to know about how to help keep children safe from the threat of radicalisation. This includes understanding how to apply the notice, check, share procedure:
- Notice early signs that may indicate vulnerability to radicalisation
- Check concerns appropriately
- Share the information by making a referral
You'll also learn how to respond safely to concerning statements or behaviours.
Course updates
We've updated our course to clarify that SEND does not cause radicalisation, and that where a child's needs are being missed or misunderstood, their vulnerability can increase.
We've reviewed the course to make sure it's in line with KCSIE 2026.
The only change is clarification that if any more information comes to light while a Prevent referral is being assessed, this should also be passed to the police.
