Course outline:
This webinar explores early identification of radicalisation risk, with a focus on developmental vulnerability, safeguarding practice, and contextual factors that increase susceptibility. The session moves beyond process-driven responses to examine the underlying drivers that may place children and adults at greater risk of harm.
Participants will explore how age, developmental stage, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma, identity formation, online influence, misogyny, and other forms of extremism can create pathways into radicalisation.
Training topics will include:
- What radicalisation is and how it develops over time
- Why children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable
- The impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma and attachment disruption
- Misogyny, online subcultures, incel ideology, and gender-based radicalisation
- Recognising early behavioural, relational and psychological indicators
Learning outcomes:
- Develop a clearer understanding of how age and developmental stage influence vulnerability to radicalisation
- Recognise the impact of trauma, ACEs and identity-based harms in increasing susceptibility
- Identify early warning signs across different forms of extremism, including misogyny
- Strengthen confidence in responding to disclosures sensitively and appropriately
- Understand how to raise safeguarding concerns proportionately within your organisation
