Prevent Duty
Working positively to protect young people from radicalisation.
You may have heard about the Prevent Duty, which aims to prevent young people from being radicalised by, for example, far right extremists or religious extremists.
In school we have a duty to care for the children and take note of any child who is at risk of radicalisation, regardless of their background. We also have to take steps to help prevent children being exposed to extremist ideas. Our overriding priority is that children feel safe and able to demonstrate tolerance towards all cultures and religions, even when personal views may be different.
Duty of Care
The school liaises closely with various other professionals including West Midlands Police to ensure we work together as a team. We regularly have contact with the Police to ensure we fulfil our duties in protecting our children. We are informed immediately if they have had any incidents or concerns. If you would like to talk or ask any further questions regarding this, please visit the office to make an appointment with one of our Safeguarding Leads.
