People with autism are markedly over-represented in Prevent referrals. Alistair will explain why this is happening and use the FARAS risk and protection framework to work through real cases, showing how specific aspects of ASD appeared to lead people towards lone-actor violence. He will also share practical strategies for risk assessment and management.
