PREVENT Strategy

Mrs Wake - Point of contact for PREVENT

The PREVENT Duty

Birchwood is committed to providing a secure environment for pupils, where children feel safe and are kept safe. All adults in our school recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility irrespective of the role they undertake or whether their role has direct contact or responsibility for children or not.

The Governing Body fully accepts the school's responsibility to implement the Prevent Duty.  

The aim of the PREVENT Duty is to identify individuals at risk of being drawn into extremism, assess the nature and extent of that risk and develop the most appropriate support for the individuals concerned.
