Online Radicalisation - Information and Support for Parents and Carers

We recognise that this is a difficult time for parents and guardians and that the Coronavirus is having a significant impact on young people and families across the world.The closure of schools means that opportunities for children to talk to and play with friends will be limited to online interaction. This will almost certainly lead to children spending more time online. Parents working from home may not be able to monitor their children’s use of devices as they usually would. Parents and carers should read this information guide to help recognise indications of radicalisation.

Child Support and Wellbeing

There are many resources to help parents and carers recognise when their child needs support and how to help them through any tough periods they maybe going through whether it is exam stress, bullying or a general sense of a lack of physical or mental wellbeing. Our website has a comprehensive list of internal and external support services that is located in the Support & Wellbeing section of our Current Students section
