PREVENT Duty

As of July 2015, under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, it became the duty of all schools (and other organisations) to safeguard children from radicalisation and extremism. All schools have a responsibility to protect pupils from extremist and violent views, and also to teach and promote values such as mutual respect and tolerance.

Exploring different religions and cultures as part of our curriculum and within religious education lessons
Promoting the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils by providing a Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship programme

Promoting community cohesion by establishing and maintaining contact with local community groups, other local schools and schools in contrasting localities
Having a school council and ensuring that all pupils are valued and listened to.
