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.

Early Years Advisory Support

The Early Years Foundation stage extends from birth to five years of age and all providers of early years education and childcare must comply with the EYFS Statutory framework The framework sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe.

School to School Support

There are a variety of ways that school to school support is facilitated in the LA. The Slough Teaching School Alliance plays a key role in providing training and CPD for schools and also in keeping an inventory of NLEs and SLEs that schools can tap into when needed. The LA Autumn Term Visits are designed to capture best practice at schools and then share that information at the Slough School Improvement Board (SSIB) in order that schools can see what local expertise exists and how best to use it. The Local School Improvement Fund has been set up in collaboration with STSA in order to encourage schools to work together and facilitate the school led improvement system.

Cyberbullying Programme for Primary Schools - ‘Click’

Cyberbullying is any form of bullying that is carried out through the use of electronic media devices, such as computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, or gaming consoles. Messaging apps, gaming sites and chat rooms such as Facebook, XBox Live, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and other chat rooms can be great fun and a positive experience but it’s when these platforms become a place to bully and control someone the problem’s start.

Safeguarding in Education

The Children Acts 1989 and 2004 provide a framework for our service standards. Section 10 of the Children’s Act 2004 places a duty on schools to co-operate with the local authority to provide information to safeguard a child.
