Safeguarding

Preventing Extremism

At Harris Primary Academy Shortlands we have a designated Prevent Duty Lead.  The Prevent duty has two specific objectives to safeguard our students against radicalisation, extremism, and any actions or beliefs that are contrary to British Values and our Academy ethos:

  1. Respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from those that promote it.
  2. Prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure that they are given appropriate advice and support.

At Harris Primary Academy Shortlands we work alongside the counter-terrorism referral programme “Channel”. Channel is a programme which focuses on providing support at an early stage to people who are identified as being vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism. The programme uses a multi-agency approach to protect vulnerable people by:

  • identifying individuals at risk
  • assessing the nature and extent of that risk
  • developing the most appropriate support plan for the individuals concerned.

E-Safety

Children and young people spend a lot of time online – it can be a great way for them to socialise, explore and have fun. But children do also face risks like cyberbullying or seeing content that's inappropriate. We do teach e-safety as part of our curriculum, but it is important that parents understand the risks too.

We will run workshops for parents – but please take the time to visit the sites below to ensure that you know and understand how to keep your children safe at home.
