LGfL DigiSafe is becoming LGfL SafeguardED* - find out more here

Dear Colleague, 

You may be aware that the Prevent duty guidance was updated last week  to reflect recommendations of the
Independent Review of Prevent. We've put together a free webinar, key insights and tips to help schools prepare before it comes into effect on 31st December 

What's new?

Whilst there are no new legal requirements, the changes provide greater clarity, practical advice and signposting to best practice - this includes the ideological causes of terrorism, managing risk, information sharing and updated terminology - and Ofsted inspectors will be using the guidance to better support inspection of Prevent delivery. The DfE has also produced new risk assessment templates for all education phases and refreshed guidance for DSLs and those with safeguarding responsibilities.

What do I need to do?

• Read the updated Prevent duty guidance
• You may wish to update your risk assessment and action plan

Free Webinar for schools - Thurs 14th September, 3.30pm:

• To help schools prepare, LGfL is running a 1 hour webinar:

  'Prevent Duty Guidance 2023 Webinar - implications and next steps for schools' 

   

  Aimed at DSLs, school leaders and governors, the session will:

  • Clarify key messages from the updated statutory guidance
  • Share practical steps for DSLs to meet compliance
  • Introduce the new risk assessment templates and additional support

And don't forget...!

• You can access free Prevent training to support your whole school approach, quality-assured resources for safeguarding teams, staff, parents and carers at prevent.lgfl.net
