Mr Rowley confirmed the flow of individuals travelling to the conflict in the Middle East had slowed, but there remained a risk of those overseas trying to radicalise people in Britain to potentially conduct attacks here.

Writing in The Telegraph, Security Minister Ben Wallace said the practice wasn't necessarily restricted to adults but also children.

He says teachers must be aware of to the "grooming practices of terrorist radicalisers" and report their concerns, as outlined by the Government's Prevent strategy.

He says: "It is not about spying and it is not about closing down debate and discussion on religion or politics. The Prevent duty brings countering violent radicalisation into the wider safeguarding fold."

He says he knows of cases where children have been saved from harm, andadds: "Isiluse children to not only spread fear but to carry out murders. Daesh see no difference between the UK and the middle east to unleash their terror. "

But while that is happening, focus is also being paid to far-right extremism in recent months, particularly stirring up violence in communities, Mr Rowley said.

It would be wrong to suggest it was of the same gravity as the threat from Daesh and Al-Qaida, but there are extreme right-wing groups who are trying to provoke violence in communities, trying to sow discord and divide communities and on occasion using violence," he added

Mr Rowley was speaking as part of a major new campaign calling on the public to report any suspicions and help foil new plots - praising their contribution as "extraordinary". This comes at a time when security services are dealing with new challenges, such asterrorists use encrypted communications methods.

Mr Wallace welcomed the move, saying: "The horror of recent terrorist attacks in Europe and beyond is a shocking reminder of the threat we all face."

The official threat level for international terrorism in the UK has stood at severe - meaning an attack is highly likely - for two years.
