Prevent

Prevent is a key strand in the government’s counter-terrorism strategy, also known as CONTEST. Local authorities are seen as having a major role to play in preventing people from being drawn into terrorist activity – whatever the ideology behind it. The aim of Prevent is to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. The government regards Prevent as a key part of CONTEST and does not believe it is possible to resolve the threats we face simply by arresting and prosecuting more people.

Fair Access Panel

Each Local Authority must have a primary and secondary Fair Access Protocol, agreed with the majority of schools in the area. The purpose of the protocols is to ensure the most vulnerable children are placed in school as quickly as possible. Schools and the Local Authority agree which groups of children are considered under the protocol and how they will be placed in schools. The normal admissions arrangements do not apply for these children. The primary and secondary Fair Access Protocols are attached and these are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain effective.

Schools Funding

Schools are funded by the government through the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG). Each local authority will have a Schools Forum who advise the council on the allocation of the DSG. Members of Schools Forum are either headteachers or governors in Slough Schools. Further information about Slough Schools Forum can be found here. (Add link to Schools Forum page on council website).
