SINCE 9/11: Is a UK educational charity, set up on the tenth anniversary of September 11th 2001 to ensure that the legacy of 9/11 is one that builds hope from tragedy. They offer a FREE Education Programme created by the world acclaimed UCL's Institute of Education for all UK secondary schools focuses on teaching the events, causes and consequences of 9/11 in an attempt to create a better, peaceful and harmonious future.
Most children starting secondary school today were not born at the time of the terrorist attacks on 11th September 2001. This education programme encourages students to discuss and debate events and issues surrounding 9/11; developing critical thinking skills and promoting intercultural dialogue by exploring different cultural and political perspectives. Wider impacts of terrorism and extremism are looked at in a UK context, with the impact on free speech and civil liberties investigated. Web-based resources provide information and interactive resources for teachers.

Not all cases will be adopted by the channel panel, but some maybe suitable for local prevent officer engagement.
