The safety and well-being of children is a core responsibility of the school: children who feel safe and happy will thrive. At Limes Farm Infant School and Nursery, we take safeguarding, including our statutory responsibilities, very seriously.
We achieve this objective by:
PREVENT STRATEGY
Since July 2015 all schools (as well as other organisations) have had a duty to safeguard children from radicalisation and extremism under Prevent, 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 extreme right wing groups, violent Al Qa’ida-influenced groups and other causes. This means we have a responsibility to protect children from extremist and violent views the same way we protect them from drugs, gang violence, abuse and sexual exploitation. Importantly, we can provide a safe place for pupils to discuss these issues so they better understand how to protect themselves.
OUR RESPONSE
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, and by vetting visitors who come into school to work with pupils.
The Head Teacher, Deputy Head Teacher, Chair, Vice Chair of Governors and all Class Teachers have received Prevent Awareness Training which has been cascaded to all staff working at Limes Farm Infant School and Nursery.
