From Telegraph UK
Nursery school staff and registered childminders must report toddlers at risk of becoming terrorists, under counter-terrorism measures proposed by the Government. The directive is contained in a 39-page consultation document issued by the Home Office in a bid to bolster its Prevent anti-terrorism plan.
Critics said the idea was “unworkable” and “heavy-handed”, and accused the Government of treating teachers and carers as “spies”.
The document accompanies the Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill, currently
before parliament. It identifies nurseries and early years childcare
providers, along with schools and universities, as having a duty “to prevent
people being drawn into terrorism”.
The consultation paper adds: “Senior management and governors should make sure
that staff have training that gives them the knowledge and confidence to
identify children at risk of being drawn into terrorism and challenge
extremist ideas which can be used to legitimise terrorism and are shared by
terrorist groups.
"They should know where and how to refer children and young people for further help.”
But concern was raised over the practicalities of making it a legal requirement for staff to inform on toddlers.
David Davis, the Conservative MP and former shadow home secretary, said: “It is hard to see how this can be implemented. It is unworkable. I have to say I cannot understand what they [nursery staff] are expected to do.
“Are they supposed to report some toddler who comes in praising a preacher deemed to be extreme? I don’t think so.
“It is heavy-handed.”
Mr Davis also accused the Home Office of pushing the legislation too quickly.
Isabella Sankey, the policy director at human rights body Liberty, said: “Turning our teachers and childminders into an army of involuntary spies will not stop the terrorist threat.

Good move... Where govt is responsible
DeleteArrant nonsense, toddlers? Mschewww!
DeleteThis is crazy and stupid of the govt.
DeleteIf that wud make d world a better place let them do it please.
DeleteYou all who frown at this have no idea what the world is slowly becoming in the hands of Islamic extrmists. Absolutely no idea. These terrorists have been brain washed from their childhood days on religious discrimination and hatred. The UK govt. are simply being proactive and strategic. The world is changing drastically, so drastic measures MUST be put in place. Nigeria is still very backward in its resolve to tackle terrorism. That's why we yearn for a change in government. Mac10...
DeleteInteresting...

DeleteNo be small thing o.
ReplyDeleteAbeg I support it. Their government is doing everything to protect the lives of their citizens. Unlike ours that all they do is throw parties and spend up to 500 million in feeding.
ReplyDeleteU must be an animal... How would u know that a child exhibits terrorist potential, u are just dumb like the ppl who proposed the law
Delete@Eze: They will spot a potential terrorist accurately. It is a challenge and they will do it unless they want to homeschool their kids.
DeleteNigeria govt should be innovative as well rather dishing out inefficient governance. Bunch of corrupt, self-centered and evil people.
End the tinz
ReplyDeleteCommon sense must be far away from those that are trying to enforce such law,.as if most of them don't make the decision based on their environmental factors and the company they keep,a nursery child will only do what he or she sees the adult around her doing or from the movies he or she watches,so they should focus their attention somewhere else and stop the stylish child harrasment and racism.
ReplyDeleteRacism in the 21st century. This is rubbish.
ReplyDeleteMtchew....iranu of d 1st order!!! Confused mofos

ReplyDeleteYeah, about tine someone did that,the earlier the better
ReplyDelete*flourish
Lol, risk free tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteBlacks blacks blacks blacks negros negros blackz
ReplyDeleteNice one,everything someone will become show surprise ly when the person is still a child,with this program a lot will be discovered trust me.**EMZEALLOUS**
ReplyDeleteI think these guys know exactly what they are doing. The white kids have lost all sense of direction even when not poor. It was estimated that an average of 5 UK young adult travelled out to join ISIS/ISIL weekly as at Nov 2014 statistics. Also, in the UK certain areas have been taken over by extremist and radical Islam. A child is the easiest give-away of terrorism if any member of that child's family is one camouflaging, especially as they operate under cell system, and for a certainty will indoctrinate the children to do same. So don't think the UK govt are crazy, they are evidently smarter than anyone here who has commented that it is foolishness. Apparently most didn't know the facts and figures.
ReplyDeleteThey r taking precaution in order not to experience boko haram
ReplyDeleteDon't say what ya dnt knw @linda, here is the deal, some people hv d tendency of becoming terrorist even from young age, it starts from the way the talk, and d way they isolute themselves from people, the people u call introverts are the targets here, the work of the teachers is to report any suspect like that to the authority's.
ReplyDelete...And if they suspect a toddler, what are they gonna do to him or her? Sentence them to life imprisonment? Or death ? Smh!
ReplyDeleteWe will live and see the benefit ( if there will ever be)of this crazy thought and action.
ReplyDelete-Blisss
They can't be serious...lolzzz ,na wa oh
ReplyDeleteimposing such on toddlers who cant differentiate their left from right is absurd and hilariou
ReplyDeleteWtf is this world turning into? We are talking about toddlers here! This is just wrong, and I do NOT think any good thing can come out of this
