Course Overview
This two hour twilight session supplements the New to Role and Refresher courses by providing the opportunity to consider additional guidance and issues.
Delivered by LCC’s Prevent Education Officer, the session aims to provide an enhanced and up to date overview of Prevent Duty and implications to the education sector and will focus predominantly on:
- What is the Prevent Duty and an overview of UK’s counter terrorism strategy in respect of Education Sector
- What are the statutory requirements on schools to comply with Prevent Duty
- An overview of current risk and threat picture for Liverpool and Merseyside (Counter Terrorism Local Profile),
- Prevent Risk Assessment for schools – support with carrying out comprehensive risk assessment utilising DfE’s Prevent Risk Assessment tool
- What are schools’ responsibilities under the Duty and what actions need to be taken in Education Sector to build resilience to radicalisation.
Why Attend?
These ongoing opportunities will help you to ensure you meet statutory training requirements and stay abreast of changes locally and nationally.
Within KSCIE, the DFE state:
‘The designated safeguarding lead and any deputies should undergo training to provide them with the knowledge and skills required to carry out the role. The training should be updated every two years... Training should provide designated safeguarding leads with a good understanding of their own role, how to identify, understand and respond to specific needs that can increase the vulnerability of children, as well as specific harms that can put children at risk, and the processes, procedures and responsibilities of other agencies, particularly children’s social care…
…In addition to their formal training as set out above, their knowledge and skills should be updated (for example via e-bulletins, meeting other designated safeguarding leads, or taking time to read and digest safeguarding developments), at regular intervals, and at least annually, to keep up with any developments relevant to their role.’
