The ‘Prevent’ Strategy
The ‘Prevent’ strategy
The prevent strategy is nationwide and forms part of the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy. ‘Prevent’ aims to stop people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism and each police force within the country has a unit which is focussed on the ‘prevent’ strategy.
West Yorkshire Police’s Prevent unit have been into school to deliver training and to raise awareness to both students and staff.
ARCH Days Year 7-10
ARCH days are formulated based upon Government directives and local needs which are identified through the eHna survey (completed in Year 7 and Year 10), student voice and staff voice. ARCH days take place 6 days a year and allow students to cultivate our ARCH values and become fully formed citizens to successfully and harmoniously participate in society.
Topics include:
- Online Safety
- Voting and Democracy
- Sexuality and Development
- Community Cohesion
- Drugs and Alcohol
All work is collated into 6 volumes (ARCH day booklets) and the students then keep these for future reference.
