What is the Prevent Strategy and how does it apply to schools?

 

From July 2015 all schools have a duty to safeguard children from radicalisation and

extremism. Prevent is a government strategy designed to stop people supporting any

extreme cause, becoming terrorists or supporting terrorist causes. We have a responsibility

to protect children from extremism and violent views, the same way as we protect them

through our behaviour policy and online safety. At All Saints we provide a safe place to

discuss these issues with children, so they learn how to protect themselves.

​

KEY TERMS

​

Extremism – vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values such as democracy, the rule of law and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.

Terrorism – a violent action against people or property, designed to create fear and advance a political, religious or ideological cause.

Radicalisation – the process by which a person comes to support extremism and terrorism.

Ideology – a set of beliefs.

​

At All Saints we enable our children to become possitive members of society by:

​

• Safeguarding children through the 'Protective Behaviours' and

      'Taking Care Project'and ICT, Online Safety lessons.

• Learning about a range of religions through RE lessons.

• Promoting the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils.

• Promoting British Values throughout the curriculum

• Challenging prejudices and racial comments by providing a safe place to discuss these issues.

• Developing pupil's self esteem through regular PSHE lessons.
