I’m looking forward to Sharing the digital stage with some great speakers at Westminster’s Tackling Extremism Digital Conference. The event will explore how enhanced multiagency working can help identify those at risk of being radicalised and design appropriate interventions to combat the rise of extremism at the grass roots level.
The extremism threat within the UK has changed significantly in the last 18 months. The pandemic has given rise to a host of new conspiracy theories and has led to an evolution in the way existing extremists operate and spread their ideas with an increase in online activity, making it harder to identify and prevent.
Expert Speakers:
- Farah Ismail, Prevent Programme Development Officer, Luton Borough Council
- Alamgir Sheriyar, South East HE/FE Prevent Coordinator, Department for Education
- Sajda Mughal OBE, Specialist Advisor to Countering Violent Extremism, Mayor of London
