Radicalisation - PREVENT duty for Education

The Medina suicide attacks, the Dallas police shooting, the grenade attack in Puchong, Malaysia, the rise of the dissident republicans in Northern Ireland  and even the fall out from the "burqa revolution" in Kerala show that radicalisation and terrorism present and ever increasing risk.

The recent UK referendum and the political turmoil that has followed dominates the UK news - but the threat from terrorism has not gone away.

The UK Government rate the international risk as severe, highly likely and the risk from Northern Ireland as substantial, a strong possibility.

A third of the referrals to the "Channel Programme" (an early intervention
multi- agency process designed to safeguard vulnerable people from being drawn into violent extremist or terrorist behaviour) in 2015 came from the education sector.

The Government believes schools, colleges learning providers and those working with vulnerable people are in a strong position to identify, help and support those at risk of becoming radicalised.

This places a huge responsibility on the education sector.  This responsibility is best met when managers, teachers and trainers receive regular ongoing training and support in what is expected of them and how to meet their duties.

Radicalisation and extremism take on many shapes and forms and it is important that the British value of "mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs" is not diminished by any mis-understanding or incorrect application of the PREVENT duty.

Concrew Training offers one-day workshops that are designed to provide this support.

Using Social Media at Work - Staff rights and responsibilities

Why you need a Policy NOW ! Two recent Employment Tribunal cases, one involving Face book and another one with Twitter have one clear message in common for modern employers – the urgent need to have clear up to date, precise policies and procedures in place about the use of Social Media at work. Both the cases profiled below could have been lost by the employer had they not previously taken proactive policy steps to keep up to date with an ever changing scene. Face Book The Face Book case arose from an unfair dismissal claim. The Employment Tribunal held that a pub manager was fairly dismissed for gross misconduct after she made inappropriate comments on Face book about two customers who had verbally abused and threatened her.   The Face Book chat took place while the employee was at work and did not reflect her upset or anger at the customers, but appeared to be a joke between friends.  However, a wider audience was able to look at her Face Book page, including r
