Prevent Duty

The DfE have published advice about the ‘prevent duty’ in the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. It is for:

• school leaders, school staff and governing bodies in all local-authority-maintained schools, academies and free schools
• proprietors, governors and staff in all independent schools
• proprietors, managers and staff in childcare settings

It will be of particular interest to safeguarding leads.

The guide ‘The use of social media for online radicalisation’ is also available to help schools.
