Tackling online extremism

Schools across the region are supporting a new e-safety campaign to tackle online extremism and help keep children and young people safe.

The internet and social media provide opportunities for those with extreme views to target young or vulnerable individuals.

Communities have an important role to play, and you can anonymously report illegal terrorist information, pictures or videos you’ve found on the internet.
