Manchester Arena bomber's schools and colleges were not at fault in failing to identify radicalisation risk, inquiry finds

Schools and colleges attended by Manchester Arena mass murderer Salman Abedi were not at fault in failing to identify he was at risk of radicalisation or of being drawn into terrorism, the third and final report arising from the public inquiry has found.

The inquiry's chairman, Sir John Saunders, said he found no one single institution knew enough about Abedi or his family to 'recognise his descent into violent Islamist extremism'.

But he said it 'raises the question' of whether more could, and should, be done to share information in terms of a child's academic history and went on to make a series of recommendations for educational reform and change.
