TiNYg Understanding Neurodiversity

PerpetuityARC Training was proud to attend the latest TiNYg conference: ‘Understanding Neurodiversity: Addressing Vulnerability to Radicalisation , Crime and Counterterrorism.’

The event was held at the BBC Studios Media City, London, and was attended by a range of SMEs and industry leaders, including Emma Shaw Director of Mitie Intelligence Services and Professor Ian Acheson Senior Official in the UK Home Office

This event featured a series of presentations on the topic of neurodiversity and how this impacts young people who are potentially vulnerable to radicalisation or terrorism. The event addressed several key topics including:

  • How neurodivergence, both diagnosed and undiagnosed, contribute to feelings of isolation among the young, and heightens potential vulnerability to radicalisation.
  • Understand potential connections between neurodivergence and patterns of crime and terrorism.
  • How to develop the confidence to approach sensitive conversations with a deeper understanding to make an impact.

Presentations were followed by panel discussions from subject matter experts with the opportunity for a Q&A.

PerpetuityARC Training attended with our colleagues from Mitie Intelligence Services, demonstrating the critical support we offer to the security industry.
