Our policy will tell you about potential safeguarding risks, key staff and our referrals procedure.
All our parents and carers should be aware that there may be occasions where we have to make safeguarding referrals to external agencies, without parental permission. In these cases, we assure you that we are always acting in the best interests of a child’s safety.

What is the Prevent Duty?
Prevent is a government strategy designed to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorist or extremist causes. The Prevent Strategy covers all types of terrorism and extremism, including the extreme right wing, violent Islamist groups and other causes.
How does the Prevent Strategy apply to schools?
From July 2015 all schools (as well as other organisations) have a duty to safeguard children from radicalisation and extremism. This means we have a responsibility to protect children from extremist and violent views the same way we protect them from drugs or gang violence. Importantly, we can provide a safe place for students to discuss these issues so they better understand how to protect themselves.
We are part of Operation Encompass, which is a national project:
