Dear Resident,

Terrorism worries lots of people. That's why the Sandwell Prevent Team visited Ileys Community Centre in Smethwick last September, to raise awareness about the two main terrorism threats to the UK and Sandwell, which are Al-Qa’ida/ISIS-inspired terrorism and Extreme Right-Wing terrorism.

Attendees learned about the current threats of terrorism and how they have evolved in recent times, by looking at history, case studies and videos. The audience learnt about the importance of reporting to safeguard people and to help prevent concerns from escalating, and how to report those concerns. The workshop received positive feedback from those who attended.
