Prevent Strategy
As part of The Hermitage School’s commitment to safeguarding and child protection we fully support the government's Prevent Strategy, and take guidance from Teaching Approaches to help build resilience to extremism.
What is the Prevent Strategy?
The Prevent strategy is a government strategy designed to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. It:
-
responds to the ideological challenge we face from terrorism and aspects of extremism, and the threat we face from those who promote these views
-
provides practical help to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure they are given appropriate advice and support
-
works with a wide range of sectors (including education, criminal justice, faith, charities, online and health)

Prevent duty and fundamental British values
Prevent duty and fundamental British values work synonymously together, as they both send the same messages that are intended to deter young people from becoming victims of radicalisation and extremism in Britain. At The Hermitage Schools we teach British values within Life Skills and RE, as well as across the wider curriculum, to encourage children to have tolerance for different belief systems. By teaching British values we seek to combine the elements of safeguarding, prevent duty, and British values together.
