NEW Prevent Quiz for Staff - assess knowledge and identify gaps
Discussing the Israel-Hamas conflict - classroom resources and discussion tips
Risk Assessment -have you audited and evidenced your provision?
Use this short quiz to assess your staff's understanding of the updated Prevent duty guidance. Packed with scenario-based questions around radicalisation, responding to concerns and promoting British values, you can use the results to identify any knowledge gaps and areas for development.
Discussing the Israel-Hamas Conflict in the Classroom
These resources can support you in teaching about the history of the conflict, with guidance on having sensitive and difficult conversations:
Parallel Histories challenge students to examine a range of sources in order to debate and discuss different viewpoints in a polite and respectful way
Solutions Not Sides provides class activity packs to discuss the conflict with multimedia, questions, time for reflection, and scope for further learning
Schools need to assess the risk of pupils being drawn into terrorism. You can use the DfE's Risk Assessment template along with their Self-Assessment Tool to help understand how well embedded your Prevent policies and practices are.
Did you know?
The updated guidance emphasises decision-making should be informed by the terrorism threat picture, and any activity should be proportionate to the local risk?You can understand more about your local risk and threat picture (sometimes referred to as a counter-terrorism local profile or CTLP)by engaging with your local authority or local policing -the DfE’s Regional Prevent Education Coordinators (RPECs) can help you understand who the relevant partners are in your locality and how to contact them.
We run a FREE 1-hour interactive workshop to help schools audit, evidence and risk-assess their provision. Suitable for DSLs, SLT and Governors, you will leave with an action plan to help identify areas for development. Sign up for the Prevent in Practice Interactive Workshop
