Who joins?

• Not one 'type' of person
   to be more easily radicalised

• Recruited by people skilled
   at convincing others

• Brainwashed or manipulated

Research has told us that there is not one 'type' of person that more likely to be radicalised than another.

Lots of people that end up joining these groups are recruited by people skilled at convincing others that they can help solve their problems, or bring them a sense of recognition they cannot achieve anywhere else.

It is difficult for people in these situations to see that they are being brainwashed or manipulated.

So what kind of situation might someone

be in to be open to being radicalised?

We are now going to watch a video about how a young student was radicalised to the far-right movement in the UK - Pay particular attention to the methods used by the group, and what emotions or feelings they used to encourage the boy to get further into the group.

How and why was he

radicalised?

What to do if you

or someone you know 

may be being radicalised.

• Talk to someone you trust about it.
   

• Refer it to your teacher, parent or carer.
   

• If it's more serious, or an issue that
   requires immediate intervention,
   call the police as soon as possible.
