I really do not want to create a new Policy.
I am looking to include it in my Safeguarding Policy, in a way it is adding a new risk to the list (abuse, neglect, radicalization?).
How are others thinking of incorporating it?
This is what I've done. I've just added the prevent strategy to my safeguarding policy!Quote:

I have been poking my LA since April (and again today) with no support other than the documents we already have and that they'll keep us informed of any future training.Quote:

I would agree with you there....this is a hot topic and I am sure it has to be reflected in the EYFS and also in our CIF handbook when it comes out?Quote:

Also I would expect all the associations to give us help with this.
The statement about EY came after the schools' one and teachers are raising a few objections
And here is Morgan's 'advice' on the gov.uk ...it is now advice?...look further and it is actually DfE guidance....that was quick!

This is going to take me a while to digest tbh and work out how to incorporate it into my policies. I do hope some form of training is offered.
I am sure help will come in some shape or form...until then we can only get our knickers in a twist! :panic:Quote:

Yep, I've just put it in my safeguarfing policy. Are you all informing parents of the change/addition to this policy too? I just feel like parents will be s but like "Yeh whatever"!!!
Policies agreement forms part of the contract so any change to a policy is sent to parents, they read, re-sign my policy agreement form and I file that with the contract.Quote:
