Below is a summary of what the event will cover:

PREVENT

The Prevent strand of the Government’s CONTEST Strategy is all about the pre-criminal space, providing support and re-direction to vulnerable individuals at risk of being groomed into terrorist activities. In this event we will be looking at how governors can ensure their school is effectively implementing their responsibilities under the Prevent Duty.

PREPARE

The Prepare strand seeks to minimise the impact of a terrorist attack where it cannot be stopped. In this event we will be looking at how governors can strategically direct and support the School Senior Management to develop and implement a School Emergency Plan in line with best practice.
