Prevent

The Academy ethos is to support every child’s development in ways that will foster security, confidence and independence, by developing an environment in which children and young people feel safe, secure, valued and respected and feel confident in approaching adults if they are in difficulties, believing they will be effectively listened to.

We have been successful in raising the awareness of all staff (teaching and non-teaching) in the importance of safeguarding children in education and of their responsibilities in identifying and reporting possible cases of concern. The Academy also complies with the requirements of the Counter Terrorism and Security Act in understanding and addressing all forms of radicalisation and having due regard for the need to prevent people being drawn into terrorism we act in accordance with its “Prevent” duty.

We encourage parents to read the Prevent Duty and also the guidance about social media.
