Free online course: understanding and preventing online radicalisation

WISE KIDS has created a free, easy-to-follow online course to help parents and carers understand how online radicalisation can happen—and what to do if they’re worried.

Parents will learn:

• What online radicalisation can look like, through real-life examples
• Key warning signs and tactics used online (including AI and social platforms)
• How to build children’s digital resilience and wellbeing
• Where to get safeguarding support and what steps to take if concerns arise

The course was developed with input from local authorities, safeguarding professionals and counter-terrorism specialists, and is suitable for parents of children and teens.
