Prevent Duty

What is the Prevent strategy?

Prevent is a government strategy designed to prevent people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorist or extremist causes.

The Prevent strategy covers all types of terrorism and extremism, including the extreme right wing & White Supremacists, violent Islamist groups and other causes.

How does the Prevent strategy apply to schools?

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.

Here is our 'Prevent' leaflet for parents with further information.

Bradford LA have produced a Prevent leaflet also. You can access it here.
