PREVENT

Prevent is part of the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy. Its aim is to stop people becoming terrorists, supporting terrorism or expressing extremist views. Prevent addresses all forms of terrorism but continues to prioritise according to the threat they pose to the country’s national security.

Prevent involves the identification and referral of those susceptible to violent extremism into appropriate interventions. These interventions aim to divert the susceptible and vulnerable from embarking down the path to radicalisation.

E- Safety

On-line safety both in school and at home is an important part of safeguarding. On-line safety is embedded into our behaviour policy which covers both use of internet safety both in and outside the school environment.

At Lower Darwen Primary School we understand the responsibility to educate our pupils in e-Safety issues; teaching them the appropriate behaviours and critical thinking to enable them to remain both safe and legal when using the internet and related technologies, in and beyond the context of the classroom. This policy is inclusive of both fixed and mobile internet; technologies provided by the school; (such as I.pads, PCs, laptops, webcams, whiteboards, digital video equipment, etc); and technologies owned by pupils and staff, but brought onto school premises (such as laptops, mobile phones, camera phones and portable media players, etc).
