Recognising the signs

Prevent Duty Image
Signs of radicalisation can vary, but common indicators include sudden changes in behaviour or appearance, becoming withdrawn from family and friends, expressing extreme views or intolerance, increased secrecy about activities or online behaviour, and associating with new groups or individuals who promote extremist ideas.

Other signs may include a fixation on a particular cause, use of hate speech, or justifying violence. It’s important to remember that these signs do not necessarily mean someone is being radicalised, but noticing several of them together may be a reason for concern and further support.
