<p>Keeping children safe from risks of radicalisation is a safeguarding matter and
should be approached in the same way as safeguarding children from other risks. School
staff should use their professional judgement in identifying children who might be
at risk of radicalisation and act proportionately. Our statutory guidance, Keeping
Children Safe in Education, includes specific references to radicalisation and can
be found at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/435939/Keeping_children_safe_in_education.pdf"

Government also published statutory guidance in March setting out the types of activity
we expect specified authorities to consider when complying with the duty, which includes
a chapter aimed specifically at schools. This information can be found here:</p><p><a

training package called the Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent (WRAP) has been
provided to public sector workers and others in the community since 2007, including
in schools. It is designed to help identify when people may be vulnerable to radicalisation,
how to raise concerns and what proportionate responses should be taken. It is regularly
updated and refreshed to deal with any emerging issues.</p><p>The Department will
issue further practical advice for schools on the Counter Terrorism and Security Act
shortly.</p>
