If you have any Prevent concerns regarding a child at Longcot and Fernham CE School, please speak with our named Prevent Lead and Designated Safeguarding Lead: Mrs Sally Robins
Many of the things we already do in school to help children become positive, happy members of society also contribute to the Prevent strategy. These include:
We will also protect children from the risk of radicalisation, for example by using filters on the internet to make sure they can’t access extremist and terrorist material, or by vetting visitors who come into school to work with pupils.
Extremism can take many forms, including political, religious and misogynistic extremism. Some of these may be a bigger threat in our area than others.
We will endeavour to give children the skills to protect them from any extremist views they may encounter, now or later in their lives.
Different schools will carry out the Prevent duty in different ways, depending on the age of the children and the needs of the community.
Prevent is about having a duty of care and identify worrying behaviour. Staff know how to refer those children who may be at risk of radicalisation for appropriate support.
