As of July 1, 2015, all schools and licenced early childhood care and education providers are required under section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 to give consideration to the need to keep people from being pulled into terrorism when performing their duties. The Prevent Duty is the name of this obligation.
Since safeguarding is at the core of all we do, we'll make sure we follow and fulfil the Prevent Duty criteria.
As soon as feasible, give the workers the proper training and make sure they are fully aware of their responsibilities.
Staff will be able to recognise kids who could be at risk of radicalization thanks in part to this training.
By using a rigorous risk assessment process, we will determine the likelihood that kids will be dragged into terrorism, particularly by supporting beliefs that are radical and are a part of the terrorist ideology.
Through the use of social media and the internet, we will be aware of the risk of radicalization that exists online.
We will make sure that Dawn Humphries, our designated lead in safeguarding, and Andrea Briley receive at least Prevent Duty awareness training so they can provide guidance and assistance to other staff members.
To ensure that there is a balance between appreciating and respecting difference, while being conscious of the dangers of radicalization, staff will have an ongoing and open discussion about their own opinions towards British values, and what they mean to staff, children, and families utilising the setting.
Please see the sections on Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) and Understanding the World for more details on how the EYFS might aid in teaching kids and staff about British values and the Prevent Duty (UTW).
Children can be encouraged by managers and workers to understand their place in the larger scheme of things, to recognise that their thoughts matter, to respect one another's viewpoints, and to express their feelings.
Children should be given the chance to cultivate inquisitive minds in a setting where inquiries are respected and listened to.
Children should grow to have a positive self-image.
Children can have opportunity to grow in self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-confidence with the help of staff.
Staff members should promote a variety of activities that help kids learn how to express their emotions and sense of responsibility, reflect on their differences, and understand that it's okay to have different opinions. For instance, have them talk in small groups about how they feel about going from nursery to school.
Treat others how you would like to be treated: PSED & UTW. Mutual respect and tolerance.
Managers and leaders foster an environment where perspectives, beliefs, cultures, and races are recognised and children are involved in the larger community through fostering an inclusive and tolerant culture.
Staff members should promote and emphasise the value of tolerant behaviours like listening to and respecting the ideas of others.
Boys and girls are constantly separated and gender stereotypes are not challenged.
Failure to confront actions (by staff, kids, or parents) that are inconsistent with the core British principles of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, respect for others, and tolerance for people who practise other religions and beliefs.
that any child should, for whatever reason, be regarded less favourably than another child.
All children and families will be given unwaveringly favourable treatment.
