Channel Process

The Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015 introduced the ‘Channel’ process. Channel is a multi-agency safeguarding programme providing tailored support to people who have been identified as at risk of being drawn into terrorism.  The support offered can come from any of the partners on the Panel which includes the local authority, police, education and health providers. The person’s engagement in the programme is voluntary at all stages. This guidance is intended for members of a panel and partners of local panels in England and Wales on the duty to provide support for people vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism

Online Safety

Online radicalisation, either through accessing inflammatory material or through online grooming is an increasing danger and means that partner organisations have to be alert to this issue regardless of sector or geographic location. Education and training organisations can help safeguard learners by blocking access to dangerous or illegal sites and also by helping to identify people who may be curious and susceptible to radicalisation. Organisations can promote online safety by ensuring there are policies on the use of IT on their premises and having general usage policies referring to misuse  of computer equipment.  Some organisations also use filtering as a means of restricting access to harmful content and to prevent people from being radicalised.

Support for Victims of Terrorism

We know that terrorist incidents can have a devastating impact on the family, friends, peers and community surrounding victims of terrorism and so wanted to remind areas that support is available for those who have been affected:

  • The Support for Victims of Terrorism page includes relevant helplines, support organisations and a printable leaflet
  • The Resilience in Unity Project has recently launched a mapping tool to record the stories and testimony of people affected by acts of terrorism around the world and provide resources for schools, practitioners and communities. You can access the tool and the project’s resource hub here.
