Safeguarding autistic children and young people from extremist ideologies

Guidance and toolkit for parents

Two free resources have been created for parents, following a Crawley Borough Council funded project, produced in partnership with West Sussex County Council professionals and a range of experts on inclusion, autism spectrum conditions and radicalisation.

Parental guidance 

This guidance booklet provides key information and guidance to those parents with young people who have an Autism Spectrum Condition, around safeguarding them from extremist ideologies.

The objective of this resource is to equip parents with the confidence and effective strategies to have meaningful conversations with and develop the resilience of young people going forwards. Consequently, they will hopefully be able to effectively recognise and counter extremist points of view.
