The Prevent Strategy
All schools (as well as other organisations) have a duty to safeguard children from radicalisation and extremism.
Prevent is a government strategy designed to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorist or extremist causes.
The prevent strategy cover all type of terrorism and extremism, including extreme right wing, violent Islamist groups and other causes.
We promote British values and this part of our response to the Prevent strategy, ensuring that any discussions are suitable for the age and maturity of the children. British values include:
