PREVENT Duty

Longridge C of E Primary School is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all its pupils. As a school we recognise that safeguarding against radicalisation is no different from safeguarding against any other vulnerability.

On 1 July 2015 the Prevent duty (section 26) of The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 came into force. This duty places the responsibility on local authorities to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism.

As part of Longridge C of E Primary School’s commitment to safeguarding and child protection we fully support the government’s Prevent Strategy.

All teaching staff completed Lancashire’s Prevent Training on Monday 15th November 2021.
