Prevent Information

The governors and staff of Kneesall C. of E. Primary School are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all its pupils. As a school we recognise that safeguarding against radicalisation and extremism is as important as safeguarding against any other vulnerability.

All staff are expected to uphold and promote the fundamental principles of British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. We believe that children should be given the opportunity to explore diversity and understand Britain as a multi-cultural society; everyone should be treated with respect whatever their race, gender, sexuality, religious belief, special need, or disability.

As part of our commitment to safeguarding and child protection we fully support the government's Prevent Strategy.

Staff and Governors have completed the prevent e-learning provided by the Home Office and several of the school's policies reference The Duty. Channel is a programme which focuses on providing support at an early stage to people who are identified as being vulnerable to being radicalised. Our Head Teacher has completed a more in-depth face to face session on Prevent as our safeguarding lead.

Where we are concerned about about the safety and welfare of our pupils in this connection we will follow the procedures laid down and refer to the Channel programme.
