Learning together to be safe

A toolkit to help schools contribute to the prevention of violent extremism

The toolkit is not exhaustive, nor does it aim to be prescriptive – local partners will need to work together to develop responses that are tailored to particular communities’ needs. For that reason I am asking local authorities to work with the police and others to provide customised information to go alongside the toolkit and to take the lead in ensuring all local schools are aware of the issues and are supported in this work.
Preventing violent extremism must be a shared endeavour. I am grateful to young people and to colleagues across the education community and beyond for their views and input to this work so far. I look forward to working with you further as we move forward together to build more cohesive and resilient communities, helping all children and young people to achieve their potential, make a positive contribution and stay safe.
