Subsequent to this research, a cycle of similar media reporting of terrorist and extremist incidents can be observed, contributing to a 'mythic feedback loop' which functions as a connective structure in individuals' moral reflections (Haw 2009;Schostak & Schostak 2009).…”

In 2015, a duty came into effect requiring all public bodies, including schools, to engage with the UK government's Prevent counter-terrorism strategy. This paper presents two case studies from mid-size English cities, exploring the moral prototypes and institutional identities of professional mediators who made schools aware of their duties under Prevent. Drawing from 14 in-depth elite interviews, the paper details the models of moral action through which participants constructed their relationship to normative, deliberative and legal obligations in an interprofessional context. The paper focuses on the recurrence of a high profile critical media incident in which a young child was allegedly subject to a referral for writing about living in a 'terrorist' (rather than 'terraced') house. Reaction to this incident was archetypal of the fear of media moral panic in reconstituting mediators' identities as Prevent professionals, illustrating how the enframing of events shifts professional moral codes, policy interpretation and implementation.
