Prevent/Channel The sharing of information must have due regard for the law relating to confidentiality, data protection and human rights. Having a legitimate purpose for sharing information is an important part of meeting those legal requirements. Five key documents provide the main national framework for information sharing: Data Protection Act 1998 – this act provides the main legislative framework and information sharing issues and stipulates the conditions under which information may be shared i.e. the legal justifications. Human Rights Act 1998 – this act incorporates article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights which states that everyone has the right to respect for their private and family life. Caldicott & Caldicott 2 – This is a set of principles to support the appropriate sharing of personal information about those who use the health and social care services they were reviewed in 2013, there are 7 principles outlined: 1 Justify the purpose 2 Use only when absolutely necessary 3 Use the minimum required 4 Access on a strict need to know basis 5 Everyone with access to personal confidential data should be aware of their responsibilities 6 Understand and comply with the law 7 The duty to share information can be as important as the duty to protect patient confidentiality. What factors might make people vulnerable to exploitation? Some of the following factors are already known to contribute to the vulnerability of individuals and could put them at risk of exploitation by radicalisers. Identity crisis – Adolescents/vulnerable adults who are exploring issues of identity can feel both distant from their parents/family and cultural and religious heritage, and uncomfortable with their place in society around them. Radicalisers can exploit this by providing a sense of purpose or feelings of belonging. Where this occurs, it can often manifest itself in a change in a person’s behaviour, their circle of friends, and the way in which they interact with others and spend their time.

Prevent/Channel Personal crisis – This may, for example, include significant tensions within the family that produce a sense of isolation of the vulnerable individual from the traditional certainties of family life. Personal circumstances – Individuals may perceive their aspirations for career and lifestyle to be undermined by limited achievements or employment prospects. This can translate to a generalised rejection of civic life and adoption of violence as a symbolic act. Criminality –In some cases a vulnerable individual may have been involved in a group that engages in criminal activity or, on occasion, a group that has links to organised crime and be further drawn to engagement in terroristrelated activity. Grievances – The following are examples of grievances which may play an important part in the early indoctrination of vulnerable individuals into the acceptance of a radical view and extremist ideology: • a misconception and/or rejection of UK foreign policy • distrust of western media reporting • perceptions that UK government policy is discriminatory (e.g. counter-terrorist legislation) Other Factors – Similarly to the above, the following have also been found to contribute to vulnerable people joining certain groups supporting terrorist-related activity: • ideology and politics • provocation and anger (grievance) • need for protection • seeking excitement and action • fascination with violence, weapons and uniforms • youth rebellion • seeking family and father substitutes • seeking friends and community • seeking status and identity Any change in an individual’s behaviour should not be viewed in isolation and you will need to consider how reliable or significant these changes are. But some signs might include: • parental/family reports of unusual changes in behaviour, friendships or actions and requests for assistance; • patients/staff accessing extremist material online; • use of extremist or hate terms to exclude others or incite violence; Continued over...
