Abstract

Key concepts addressed in this guide: 1. The risks society faces from radicalised individuals – including Islamists, neo-Nazis and others – are real. This risk encompasses the children, young people and vulnerable adults who face harm through being radicalised, as well as the harm they can do to other family members and society as a whole. 2. As social workers, we have an important role to play in preventative work. While the Prevent duty has been a legal requirement for social workers since 2015, research indicates practitioners still ‘lack confidence’ in working with children and young people at risk of radicalisation. 3. A key part of developing confidence in this area is understanding the political ideologies involved in radicalisation, as well as the circumstances that can contribute to an individual’s susceptibility to adopting these ideologies.
