Preparing for Prevent

Recent events have meant there is an elevated focus on prevention of people being drawn into terrorism. Part of the overall counter-terrorism strategy; Prevent is a multi-agency responsibility; and as such schools and academies have a role to play. The revised guidance for OFSTED inspection teams; in place from September 2015; demonstrates the expectations placed on school/academy settings and explicitly states what inspection teams will consider whilst on site. Critical to fulfilling this role is ensuring all staff and volunteers have a clear understanding of Prevent Duty and what is expected of them. The 'Prepare for Prevent' Module provides training and assessment to ensure staff and volunteers are adequately trained to the required standard.
