From July 2015 all schools (as well as other organisations) have a duty to safeguard children from radicalisation and extremism.
This means we have a responsibility to protect children from extremist and violent views the same way we protect them from drugs or gang violence..
Importantly, we can provide a safe place for pupils to discuss these issues so they better understand how to protect themselves.
Many of the things wealready do in school to help children become positive, happy members of socity also contribute to the Prevent strategy.
-
Exploring other cultures and religions and promoting diversity
-
Challenging prejudices and racist comments
-
Developing critical thinking skills and a strong, positive self-identity
-
Promoting the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils, as well as British values such as democracy
We will also protect children from the risk of radicalisation, for example by using filters on the internet to make sure they can’t access extremist and terrorist material, or by vetting visitors who come into school to work with pupils.
