Answer Key (Teacher Copy)
1. B. Process, not event; exploitation, not evil. The grooming parallel from earlier packs carries most of the teaching. 2. C. Back this with the referral picture: extreme right-wing cases are a large share of Channel referrals, school-age children are a significant proportion of terrorism arrests, and violence-fixation cases with no clear ideology are rising. "It couldn't be us" is the belief to dismantle. 3. A. and 4. B. The two-sided model. 5. B. The algorithm accelerator, taught as system rather than morality. 6. B. The irony point is specific and important at KS4, because deniability is how the content spreads through friendship groups. 7. C. Pattern and change against the individual's baseline, never a single comment or a political view. This is also your own noticing standard as staff. 8. B. Voluntary, supportive, multi-agency. Say it accurately every time. 9. B. The barrier belief. Demolishing it is arguably the most valuable outcome of the lesson. 10. A. ACT Early, built for worried friends and family, staffed by specialists, geared to help.
