Radicalism: Young People
Asked by: Oliver Dowden (Conservative - Hertsmere) Thursday 4th September 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she has taken through the education system to educate young people on the harms of radicalisation. Answered by Stephen Morgan - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury All schools are under a statutory duty to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being radicalised into terrorism. Every school should actively promote the shared values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance for those of different faiths and beliefs. Promoting shared British values is a way of building pupils’ resilience to radicalisation and enabling them to identify and challenge extremist views. The department publishes comprehensive advice and has made a range of resources freely available on our Educate Against Hate website, supporting teachers across all sectors to educate children and young people about the risks of extremism and radicalisation. This includes talking about Prevent and discussing controversial issues with children to raise awareness of and build resilience to radicalisation. We have a team of regional co-ordinators who work directly with education institutions across all sectors in England to provide advice, support and training to ensure providers are well equipped to prevent children and young people from being drawn into terrorism.
