At Radford Academy, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to protecting children from all forms of harm, including the risk of radicalisation and extremism. The Prevent Duty is a statutory responsibility placed on schools to help prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and extremist ideologies.

These values are embedded throughout our curriculum, assemblies, enrichment activities and wider school life.
Teaching Children to Stay Safe
Through our PSHE, RE and Computing curricula, pupils learn how to:
We encourage pupils to speak to trusted adults if they have any concerns about content they see online or in the community.
Staff Training and Safeguarding
All staff receive regular safeguarding and Prevent training so that they can identify concerns and respond appropriately. Prevent is embedded within our safeguarding procedures, staff induction programme and ongoing professional development.
Our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) also acts as the school’s Prevent Lead and works closely with external agencies when concerns are identified.
Online Safety
The school has robust filtering and monitoring systems in place to help protect pupils from inappropriate or extremist content. Online safety is taught regularly, and parents are provided with information and guidance to help keep children safe when using technology at home.
Working with Families and the Community
We work closely with families, local safeguarding partners, the local authority and other agencies to promote inclusion, community cohesion and positive relationships. We celebrate diversity and challenge all forms of discrimination, hate and intolerance.
Our Commitment
We are proud of our inclusive school community and remain committed to ensuring that every child feels safe, respected and valued. Through education, vigilance and strong partnerships, we help pupils become responsible, respectful citizens who are prepared for life in modern Britain.
