Misinformation

About this session

With the rising threat of misinformation, our webinar covers how misinformation is spread. It looks at hostile state actors and how external forces are manipulating communities into more and more extremist views. The webinar looks at how disinformation is used to increase hatred towards communities and how to identify and counter misinformation, to ensure a proactive response within the Prevent sphere.

The webinar was created as part of our ongoing collaboration with West Midlands Police as part of their training programme for their Prevent Ambassadors programme.
