Overview

The terrorist attacks on September 11th 2001 in New York and on July 7th 2005 in London were devastating. The London terrorist attacks executed by four British home-grown terrorists sent shockwaves throughout the nation. Since then, the risk and threat of home-grown terrorists have increased, especially towards the recruitment and radicalisation of vulnerable children and young people, as seen with Islamic State. This raises further questions pertaining to the safeguarding, well-being and protection of vulnerable children and young people from these extremist and terrorist groups. This book seeks to open up these discussions and challenges in these counter-terrorism and safeguarding realms, within a British context. It offers a range of publications, research, views and perspectives that provide a fresh analysis of the problems that we face within a safeguarding context since the attacks in 2005. This book is geared to those in particular from social work and social care disciplines, with wider relevance for all sectors working with these groups. Mr Boora's new book gives an illuminating insight into some of the challenges faced by professionals, practitioners, managers, services and organisations within this rapidly developing agenda. This ranges from understanding safeguarding responsibilities, what is extremism, the Prevent agenda and terrorism legislation to current MI5 security concerns and inter-agency responses. This research seeks to clear up misunderstandings and misconceptions and to sharpen the focus where many can prioritise their efforts. 'Boora has produced a timely and relevant primer on the intersection of safeguarding and radicalisation, written from the perspective of a very experienced practitioner in this field. It will provoke much needed thought and discussion' Dr Gary Manders, Lecturer in Criminology and Sociology, University of Bedfordshire 'Jaswant has executed an excellent contribution towards understanding the current concerns of extremism affecting children and young people. A good read for all professionals working in these sectors'.. Mohammed Saleem, Director of CMS est. 1981 A superb read, at last a tangible document that gives those working at the front line with vulnerable young people real insight and knowledge of how serious the issue has become and the impact on keeping our young people safe Christine Matthews-Harvey, Safeguarding & Gang Culture Trainer, Registered Children's Home Manager, Keys Group
