Prevent Duty The Prevent Duty aims to prevent young people from being radicalised by, for example, far right extremists or religious extremists. We actively support the Government’s Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism at North Lancing and we work positively to protect young people from radicalisation. In school we have a duty to care for the children and take note of any child who is at risk of radicalisation, regardless of their background. We also have to take steps to help prevent children being exposed to extremist ideas. Our overriding concern is that children feel safe and also express tolerance towards all cultures and religions, even when personal views may be different.
