ACT Early Campaign – new safeguarding website
- Andrew Allison, Community Resilience Officer at the Local Authority, has asked schools and colleges to share this update with parents.
- The new safeguarding website, operated by Counter Terrorism Policing www.actearly.uk, is aimed at family and friends to encourage them to share concerns that a friend or loved one might be vulnerable to radicalisation.
- Research shows that family and friends are best placed to spot the signs that someone might be vulnerable to radicalisation. We want them to ACT early so their vulnerable friend or loved one can get the support they need before the situation escalates into something more serious.
- The ACT early campaign is even more important than ever in the current pandemic climate where we have seen a decline in Prevent referrals during lockdown.
- Also included on the new website is the partners toolkit here which provides resources such as posters and leaflets and content to use on social media. Further information for safeguarding leads is in the attached bulletin.
