Prevent - FREE ZAK Training for Secondaries and Colleges

** Places still available **

FREE Training – ZAK Training for Secondary Schools and colleges

The University of Kent is offering two workshops FREE to introduce school representatives to the Zak resource. Delegates will have the opportunity to engage with the material first hand using laptop PCs in the training room. They will be able to consider how the benefits of using a very 'young people friendly' medium will facilitate engagement of young people about the risks of radicalisation.

Adrian Over attended a similar workshop some time ago and would recommend that schools take advantage of this opportunity to see the Zak resource.

The workshops will take place on:

Monday 28th November 2016

Workshop 1:
8.45-12.15

Workshop 2:
12.45- 4.15

Venue: Trident Technology and Business Centre, Poseidon Way, Warwick, CV34 6SW

Places are strictly limited to 20 per session and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

When booking, please indicate a first and second choice preference for workshops but please ensure you are available to attend whichever workshop is allocated. Every effort will be made to allocate first choice preferences but you will appreciate the need to ensure that both workshops are as fully attended as possible.

Schools and colleges are welcome to request 2 places but it will be necessary in the first instance to allocate 1 place per school/college to ensure that as many settings as possible are able to take up the offer of this resource.

NB Please note that delegates must have undertaken Designated Safeguarding Lead and Prevent training.

Please note that the workshops are being offered to schools, colleges and alternative providers free of charge. Schools and settings interested in accessing the resource after the workshop will be able to speak directly to the University of Kent. There will be a small cost to purchase a licence to use the resource but it will be a small and affordable cost.

To book your place at a workshop, please contact Sophie Morley via sophiemorley@warwickshire.gov.uk, indicating your and first and second choice preferences for the morning and afternoon sessions.

We hope that as many schools as possible are able to take advantage of this opportunity to enhance their curriculum in teaching children about the risks of radicalisation as part of safeguarding them from extremism.
