Answer Key (Teacher Copy)
1. B. Process, not event; exploitation, not choice. The grooming parallel from earlier packs does most of the teaching here. 2. C. Back this with the referral picture: extreme right-wing cases form a large share of Channel referrals, school-age children are a growing proportion of counter-terrorism arrests, and a rising number of cases involve violence-fixation with no coherent ideology. "It couldn't be us" is the myth to kill. 3. A. and 4. B. The two-sided model. Push makes a person available; pull makes the group attractive; a recruiter or a feed connects them. 5. B. The engagement mechanism, taught as machinery rather than morality, which is why it lands. 6. B. Normalisation by increments. Pupils recognise this pattern immediately from their own feeds. 7. C. Pattern and change against the individual's own baseline, never a single comment or a political opinion. This is also your own noticing standard as staff under the Prevent duty. 8. B. Voluntary, multi-agency, supportive. Say it accurately every time, because pupils repeat what teachers say about Channel to each other. 9. B. The barrier belief. Dismantling it is arguably the single most valuable outcome of the lesson. 10. A. ACT Early, built precisely for worried friends and family, staffed by specialists, geared to help.
