Annex 5: Preventing radicalisation and extremism

Page Content

From 1 July 2015, schools, PRUs and FEIs must have ‘due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism’. This is set out in Section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 and the accompanying Prevent duty guidance under section 29 of the Act.

The context of the school will affect the extent to which inspectors will need to consider the school’s work in this area. However, every school and PRU must comply with the duty and inspectors should satisfy themselves that the provider is aware of the duty and acting appropriately.
