2	Prevent risk assessment for Slated Row School
3	Person completing: Zoe Baines			Date Implemented: January 2024	Reviewed: January 2026
4	A risk assessment is a core part of implementing the Prevent duty. All providers should read guidance from the department on how to complete a risk assessment and on safeguarding students vulnerable to radicalisation. Schools should assess the risk of children being drawn into terrorism, including support for extremist ideas that are part of terrorist ideology. Providers may choose to have a specific separate risk assessment to better communicate to staff and document actions taken to mitigate any risks. The purpose of the risk assessment is to have an awareness and understanding of the risk of radicalisation in your area and your institution. The type and scale of activity that will address the risk will vary but should be proportionate to the level of risk, type of provision, size and phase of education. This is an internal document and should be reviewed annually, in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education requirements, or following a serious incident.

14		The setting does not place sufficient priority to Prevent and risk assessment/action plans (or does not have one) and therefore actions to mitigate risks and meet the requirements of the Duty are not effective.	Leaders (including governors and trustees) within the organisation do not understand the requirements of the Prevent Statutory Duty or the risks faced by the organisation. The Duty is not managed or enabled at a sufficiently senior level.	Prevent training/briefing for staff (including SLT) and governors annually or when there is a local risk known. All staff complete Prevent training on induction.	Increase the frequency of training from completing formally training on induction to annually	ZBa (HT)	Sep-24
15			Leaders do not have understanding and ultimate ownership of their internal safeguarding processes, nor ensuring that all staff have sufficient understanding and that staff implement the duty effectively.	Lead governor for safeguarding/Prevent lead is at appropriate seniority.		ZBa (HT)
16			Leaders do not communicate and promote the importance of the duty.	Sufficient leadership ownership – DSL is Head of School, writes Child Protection Policy.	Prevent statement on website? JBu will add	DMU (DSL)	April-24

19			All staff to not recognise the importance of reporting safeguarding concerns	Promotion of a safeguarding culture through regular training, discussions, etc with senior staff visibly involved. Clear induction for new members of staff and trainee teachers		DMU (DSL)
20	Working in Partnership	The setting is not fully appraised of national and local risks, does not work with partners to safeguard children vulnerable to radicalisation, and does not have access to good practice advice, guidance or supportive peer networks.	The organisation does not establish effective partnerships with organisations such as the Local Authority and Police Prevent Team.	The providers has strong partnerships with: • Local Safeguarding Children's Partnership • DSL / headteacher forums • LADO • Community Safety Partnerships • Police Prevent Team • Channel panel • Child and family		DMU (DSL)
21	Capabilities
22	Staff training	Staff do not recognise signs of abuse or vulnerabilities and the risk of harm is not reported properly and promptly by staff.	Frontline staff including governors, do not understand what radicalisation means and why people may be vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism	Training is broader than face to face or e-learning. Safeguarding is part of any formal meeting 1:1's, team meetings, key-stage meetings. Posters are around the school to promote and highlight key staff members. Safeguarding item is on every meeting agenda.		DMU (DSL)	Sep-24
