The Prevent Duty at Holy Family Catholic Primary School

Published by the government in July 2015, the Prevent Duty outlines the expectations placed on schools and other childcare providers to protect children and young people from radicalisation and extremism. They adjudge extremism to constitute views, attitudes or behaviours which run contrary to core British values such as democracy, the rule of law and individual liberty.

At Holy Family, we feel we prepare and protect the children from these dangers by our focus on respect, inclusion, tolerance and community.

Our Catholic ethos is at the heart of this commitment which is reinforced through our creative curriculum topics, extra-curricular activities and opportunities for all children in wider school life. The documents below outlines the main ways in which we feel Holy Family supports our pupils towards becoming engaged citizens of a modern, global and increasingly complex world.
