All students know that they can speak to their Form Tutor, Head of Year, Pastoral Support Worker about anything.\u00a0Staff must then refer to the relevant person as explained in Section C of the staff hand book.\u00a0Students and staff are encouraged to raise concerns within the school rather than overlooking a problem or \u2018blowing the whislte\u2019 outside. The School is committed to the highest possible standards of openness, probity and accountability. In line with that commitment it encourages employees and others with serious concerns about any\u00a0aspect of the School\u2019s work to come forward and voice those concerns. It recognises that certain\u00a0cases will have to proceed on a confidential basis. This policy makes it clear that staff can do so\u00a0without fear of reprisals and is intended to encourage and enable staff to raise serious concerns\u00a0within the School; rather than overlooking a problem or publicly disclosing the matter.<\/p>\n<h3 data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"24\">Visitors and volunteers<\/h3>\n<p>All our visitors and volunteers must follow our procedures in order to help safeguard our students.

duty under section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, in the exercise of their functions, to have \u201cdue regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism\u201d. The statutory guidance refers to the importance of Prevent awareness training to equip staff to identify children at risk of being drawn into terrorism and to challenge extremist ideas. The Home Office has developed a core training product for this purpose \u2013 Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent (WRAP).\u00a0All our staff have received WRAP training sessions from the police on what Prevent is about and how to deal with any issues they may see inside or outside school. All staff have also completed an online training course.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"Default\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"24\">What is the Prevent strategy?<\/h3>\n<p>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 groups and other causes.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"Default\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"24\">How does the Prevent strategy apply to schools?<\/h3>\n<p>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 pupils to discuss these issues so they better understand how to protect themselves.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"Default\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"24\">What does this mean in practice?<\/h3>\n<p>Many of the things we already do in school to help children become positive, happy members of society also contribute to the Prevent strategy.<\/p>\n<p>These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exploring other cultures and religions and promoting diversity<\/li>\n<li>Challenging prejudices and racist comments<\/li>\n<li>Developing critical thinking skills and a strong, positive self-identity<\/li>\n<li>Promoting the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils, as well as British values such as democracy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"Default\">We will also protect children from the risk of radicalisation, for example by using filters on the internet to make sure they can\u2019t access extremist and terrorist material, or by vetting visitors who come into school to work with pupils.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"Default\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"24\">How does Prevent relate to British values?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"Default\">Schools have been required to promote British values since 2014, and this will continue to be part of our response to the Prevent strategy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Default\">British values include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Democracy<\/li>\n<li>The rule of law<\/li>\n<li>Individual liberty and mutual respect<\/li>\n<li>Tolerance of different faiths and beliefs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"Default\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"24\">Is extremism really a risk in our area?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"Default\">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 give children the skills to protect them from any extremist views they may encounter, now or later in their lives.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"Default\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"24\">Reporting Concerns<\/h3>\n<p>Any Prevent-related concerns should be reported to the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), who is also our Prevent Champion.<\/p>\n<p>Designated Safeguarding Lead:<br \/>\nName: Gaynor Stainsby<br \/>\nContact: gstainsby@ahs.pmat.<wbr \/>academy<\/p>\n<p>Where necessary, concerns may be referred to external agencies in line with local safeguarding procedures.<\/p>\n<h3 data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"24\">Staff Training<\/h3>\n<p>All staff receive regular safeguarding and Prevent training to ensure they are confident in identifying and responding to potential risks.<\/p>\n<h3 data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"24\">Useful links<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/protecting-children-from-radicalisation-the-prevent-duty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DfE Protecting children from radicalisation: the prevent duty<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/article><\/section><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1099","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archbishopholgates.academy\/sixth-form\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archbishopholgates.academy\/sixth-form\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archbishopholgates.academy\/sixth-form\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archbishopholgates.academy\/sixth-form\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archbishopholgates.academy\/sixth-form\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1099"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/archbishopholgates.academy\/sixth-form\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1099\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1692,"href":"https:\/\/archbishopholgates.academy\/sixth-form\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1099\/revisions\/1692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archbishopholgates.academy\/sixth-form\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archbishopholgates.academy\/sixth-form\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archbishopholgates.academy\/sixth-form\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
