In our survey, only 17% of young Muslim respondents could identify a trusted adult at school to turn to about racism and Islamophobia. Schools can change this: a named, trained adult who can receive a disclosure, act on it, and follow up. #DontLetItSlide #IAM2026

When nearly nine in ten people who face Islamophobia are left with no support — from any institution, workplace, school or service — people stop reporting. And when people stop reporting, institutions mistake silence for the absence of a problem. #DontLetItSlide #IAM2026

The latest Home Office figures (published October 2026) record 5,132 religious hate crimes targeting Muslims in the year to March 2026 — that is nearly half of all religious hate crime. Muslims remain the most targeted religious group in Britain. #DontLetItSlide #IAM2026

In our survey, just over half of respondents said they felt less safe or less welcome in the last 6 months. Many felt that political and media narratives about Muslims were driving this harm. #DontLetItSlide #IAM2026

The most widely recognised UK definition of Islamophobia frames it as a form of racism. It targets people for being, or being perceived as, Muslim. Understanding it as racism matters, because it shapes how seriously institutions treat it. #DontLetItSlide #IAM2026

Abuse and violence can happen anywhere, by anyone, to anyone. Safety must mean safety for all of us. 1/5

As one young person said: “The teachers explained things in a simple, interactive way and took us back to the basics, so in the end even the harder topics started to make sense.” 2/3

This week’s IGNITE update! Instead of rushing to solutions, young people explored root causes using 5 Whys — strengthening independent and critical thinking. Delivered during Ramadan, we paused for a Iftar so everyone could participate fully. Thanks to @Assan88 for supporting!

🔥 IGNITE x Luton Town FC 🧡 Our young people got a behind-the-scenes tour of the club and a careers session with staff across commercial, media, catering, education and more - opening their eyes to the careers and routes available to them. Big thanks to @LutonTown 🙌

Take a moment to listen to Aleesa, one of our young people on the IGNITE programme. Her words capture why IGNITE exists — building confidence, celebrating strengths and creating practical, empowering learning experiences.
