Prevent Training Offer: Autism, Extremism & Radicalisation and Prevent Awareness
Autism, Extremism & Radicalisation
We have another iteration of a free training session available to all Professionals focussed on Autism, Extremism and radicalisation. To be delivered by Lasting Support Services, an organisation aiming to create better support services that address safeguarding and therapeutic interventions for vulnerable young people.
We have previously delivered sessions over the last year which were well attended and oversubscribed. For that reason, we have made more sessions available for professionals and staff who work on frontline services as it’s vital that staff understand the links between autism and extremism.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course aims to explore the functional links between Autism, Extremism and Radicalisation.
The course will cover :
- The link between ASD/ADHD and Radicalisation/Extremism
- How algorithms and platforms enable grooming
- Examples of how online spaces are used to radicalise young people
- Research-backed case studies on the influence of apps, streamers, VR chats and much more
- Guidance and knowledge to safeguarding against online radicalisation while addressing the unique challenged faced by neurodiverse communities
Next Available Sessions
