Description
We require a training provider who can demonstrate expertise in autism, radicalisation and extremism, as well as, a sound understanding of current statutory requirements around safeguarding, including the Prevent duty. You would need to provide a practical and interactive training package, including case examples to meet the following outcomes:
1. Improve understanding of how processing and communication differences in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may make someone vulnerable to radicalisation
2. Improve understanding of how individuals on the autistic spectrum may present radicalisation safeguarding concerns differently
3. Improve confidence in how to safeguard children and young people on the autistic spectrum from radicalisation
The training will be aimed at practitioners who support the safeguarding of children and young people from radicalisation and extremism and overall Prevent duty implementation in schools, further and higher education institutions.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:
We require a bespoke training package on safeguarding children and young people on the autistic spectrum from radicalisation to be delivered to 50-70 delegates. The delegates have a good understanding of how autism presents itself in individuals, safeguarding in neurotypical children and young people, as well as, radicalisation and extremism risks and threats to individuals.
This training would therefore need to encourage delegates to understand the relationship between radicalisation and individuals on the autistic spectrum.
Expected outcomes:
1. Improve understanding of how processing and communication differences in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may make someone vulnerable to radicalisation
2. Improve understanding of how individuals on the autistic spectrum may present radicalisation/extremism safeguarding concerns differently
3. Improve confidence in how to safeguard children and young people on the autistic spectrum from radicalisation
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Number of participants: 50-70
Length: 3 hours
Style of Training:
The DfE requires training to be as practical and interactive as possible. The delegates in receipt of this training have indicated that case studies and tangible resources are most beneficial.
