Young people, some as young as 14, have sought to leave the UK to travel to join terrorist groups. • As with other online harms, every teacher needs to be aware of the risks posed by the on line activity of extremist and terrorist groups. • Ensure that your designated safeguarding leads are trained to support staff and students and, where relevant, with the designated officer(s) of your local authority. If you are in a ‘Prevent’ priority area, your authority will have a ‘Prevent’ lead who can also provide support. • You can also contact your local police force or dial 101 (the non-emergency number). They can talk to you in confidence about your concerns and help you gain access to support and advice. • The local authority or police might suggest a referral to the ‘Channel’ programme. ‘Channel’ is a voluntary Government funded programme which aims to safeguard children and adults from being drawn into terrorist activity. ‘Channel’ can provide a support plan and specific interventions to protect people at risk, including mentoring support or an ideological or theological intervention. ascl.org.uk/training event title here Propaganda themes • • • • Images of success – winning the fight Status and belonging Personal duty Defending a group – e.g. Sunni Muslims, defending England, animal rights ascl.org.uk/training event title here Social Media Platforms • SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS • The government and police work with the communications industry to remove extremist and terrorist content from the internet; since February 2010, 80,000 pieces of terrorist content have been removed from the internet. However, more content is uploaded all the time by people from this country and elsewhere • Many community based organisations respond to ISIL propaganda and debunk its messages. For example, London-based group Families Against Stress and Trauma (FAST) have designed an online guide for parents on the dangers of radicalisation, as well as producing a YouTube film with testimonies from parents whose children have travelled to Syria. They are currently sharing their knowledge in a series of parenting workshops. ascl.org.uk/training event title here • Twitter is the most popular social media platform for pro-ISIL accounts and those sharing ISIL propaganda. This is because it is easy to establish an account, stay relatively anonymous and share material with large numbers of people. • According to the latest independent estimates, there are 45,000 pro-ISIL accounts worldwide, on Twitter. On average, these accounts tweet seven times per day, making them more active than the average account on Twitter. • FACEBOOK • Facebook is the most popular social networking site with young Britons with more than 35 million UK users. Terrorist groups use Facebook to share content, such as news stories and YouTube videos, among their peer groups. ASK.FM People considering travel to Syria or Iraq sometimes use Ask.fm to ask British jihadis and female ISIL supporters about travel, living standards, recruitment, fighting and broader ideology. The answers given by ISIL supporters are always encouraging, saying all their difficulties will be solved if they travel to the region. They are often told of the freedoms they will have, support for education and marriage. • • • ascl.org.uk/training event title here • • • • • • • • INSTAGRAM Instagram is mainly used by fighters and extremist supporters to share the photosets frequently produced by various terrorist or far right media organisations. They may use it to share to share pictures of their life with that organisation or abroad, often showing landscapes and images suggesting they are living a full and happy life. TUMBLR Tumblr, the blogging site, is mainly used by fighters to promote longer, theological arguments for travel. Tumblr is popular with female supporters, who have written blogs addressing the concerns girls have about travelling, such as leaving their families behind and living standards in Syria. YOUTUBE YouTube is sometimes used to host videos, both of official output and videos created by users themselves. Multiple ‘dummy’ accounts will be set up so that when videos are taken down they can be reposted quickly. Users will post YouTube links across their own social media platforms in order to disseminate material, particularly Twitter and Facebook. ascl.org.uk/training event title here • PRIVATE MESSAGING • On social media, extremist groups frequently encourage others to message them on closed peer-to-peer networks when asked for sensitive information, such as on how to travel to the region, what to pack and who to contact when they arrive. • Popular private messaging apps include WhatsApp, Kik, SureSpot and Viber. Snapchat, Sicher,Avacado, Bonfyre, Confide, Cyberdust, Whisper, PrivateSpace, TigerText, Hide SMS, Text Secure, Private SMS and Call, Omegle, govoice, gochat, linkedin, nimbuz, Hike • Some video chat apps: ooVoo, Skype, Tango, Hangouts, Peer, viber, camfrog, Line, QQ, ascl.org.uk/training event title here A sense of belonging not alienation ‘We have been made to feel less British’ ‘All we want is to be successful and good British Citizens’ ascl.org.uk/training event title here Learning through DIVERSITY Humanity Equality Aspira=on Respect Defini>on: • the state or quality of being different or varied • a point of difference ascl.org.uk/training event title here Treating everyone equally Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 1.
