Overview

As part of our ongoing safeguarding and child protection duties we fully support the Government's PREVENT Strategy.

From 1 July 2015, all schools are subject to a duty under section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, in the exercise of their functions, to have “due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”. This duty is known as the PREVENT Duty for Schools.

PREVENT at Brickhouse

At Brickhouse, we build pupils’ resilience to radicalisation by promoting fundamental British values and enabling our pupils to challenge extremist views. You can read about what we do to promote British Values here.

Designated PREVENT Leads

The Designated PREVENT Lead for Brickhouse Primary School is Mr. P. Newby. The Deputy Designated PREVENT Leads for Brickhouse Primary School are Mrs. H. Debney and Mr. J. Smith and our PREVENT Governor is Mrs. K. Williamson.

PREVENT Training

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 – Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent (WRAP). 

All our staff are currently receiving WRAP training sessions on what PREVENT is about and how to deal with any issues they may see inside or outside school. The Headteacher has also completed the the full training on Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE).
