Prevent Duty Statement
Chapel Street Infants and Nursery School is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all its pupils. As a school we recognise that safeguarding against radicalisation is no different from safeguarding against any other vulnerability.
In formulating this statement the staff and Governing Body have taken into account the guidance from the Department of Education (DfE) who have called for all public bodies to make explicit their preventative measures to minimise the threat of extremism in their setting.
