["National Risks – risk of radicalisation generally  "]
["What national risks are you aware of that could impact in your area, setting, pupils or families? For example, national threat level"]
["The threat to the UK from terrorism is substantial.  Substantial means an attack is likely.  ","Islamic Terrorism\nAccording to MI5 Security Service, Islamic terrorism is the most significant terrorist threat to the UK by volume. Much of the volume of the threat is from individual who have self-radicalised, seeking to carry out attacks using unsophisticated or low-sophistication methodologies.  Generally, individuals will decide themselves to conduct an attack, rather than the attack being directed or controlled by a terrorist group.  This can make it harder to identify terrorist activity.","Extreme Right Wing Terrorism\nThe extreme right wing terrorism landscape has evolved away from the structured groups towards a more diffused threat where individuals form loose networks, often online.  The ideologies and grievance narratives are varied, wide ranging and often overlapping.  They an encompass elements of cultural nationalism , white nationalism and white supremacism and are often fuelled by conspiracy theories.","Left wing, anarchist and single issue terrorism\nLeft wing, anarchist and single -issue terrorism makes up a significantly smaller portion of the casework than other forms of terrorism.  It encompasses a wide range of ideologies.  It includes those from the extreme political left-wing as well as anarchists who seek to use violence to advance their cause in seeking to overthrow the state in all its forms."]
