PREVENT Duty

The UK government has recently placed a legal duty on schools to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. 

In order to fulfil this legal duty schools must understand what is expected of them. They must be aware of the practical steps that they can take to implement effective safeguarding systems, and must develop a good understanding of the nature of these rapidly evolving issues. 

The documents below detail the new legislation.
