Training staff members of reception centres on prevention and reporting of radicalisation

Federal Agency for reception of asylum seekers (Fedasil). Governmental agency responsible for the reception of asylum seekers

Type of Organisation: Governmental institution

Belgium’s Federal agency for the reception of asylum seekers (Fedasil) provides training for reception centres and support services staff.

The training aims to:

• address staff questions on radicalisation, e.g. What is radicalisation? What does the process of radicalisation entail?
• train staff to prevent, identify and deal with radicalisation in reception centres;
• ensure the reporting of radicalisation to competent authorities.

After the training, staff members are able to:

• identify signs of radicalisation and prevent radicalisation;
• react appropriately to radicalisation in reception centres;
• know when and how to report radicalisation in reception centres.

Face-to-face training until the beginning of 2020 and since then (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) e-training via webinars.

Training modules (four PowerPoint presentations) sent to each participant ahead of the training.
