What is Prevent?
Prevent is part of the Government’s strategy to prevent extremism and terrorism. The purpose of Prevent is to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Prevent focuses on all forms of terrorist threats. e.g. international terrorism, far right extremism (among others) Three key themes The police, Local Authorities, and our partner organisations are working together to help strengthen and empower our communities to reject those who want to cause harm.

Trinity CE Primary School was awarded the Safer Schools mark in July 2016 in recognition of the whole school approach to making schools a safe place for everyone.
Our school is a ‘Safer School’ West Mercia Police and Shropshire Council support our school with the Safer School initiative. We are an accredited ‘Safer School’ and proud of our Safer School sign and certificate. The accreditation is reviewed every two years. The initiative is a holistic, practical and realistic approach to school security and personal safety. It gives our school a clear focus on the subject and turns a negative subject into a positive one. It sets a minimum standard for school security. The school has recognised the link between a successful school, pupil contentment, parent satisfaction, community involvement and the implementation of an effective risk management systems. Through the risk management system the school intends to establish the safety and security of staff, pupils and their property as a priority. This will be achieved by monitoring activity in and around school in a structured manner. Stakeholders in the school will be fully conversant with the system and will be actively encouraged to make constructive contributions. The school will undertake to reduce levels of anti-social and/or criminal activity through the accurate recording of incidents with specific details and locations: this will allow preventative actions to be taken in conjunction with all stakeholders. The school has committed to developing systems which will enable staff and pupils to concentrate on the process of education, secure in the knowledge that the environment in which they are working is as safe as possible Work of the committee has led to: In 2013/14 - Secure lobby built and entrance scheme - Introduction of 'fruit only' snacks policy to prevent litter - Introduction of visitors badge scheme - Improved supervision at lunchtimes In 2014/15 - Revised mobile phone policy - Installation of perimeter security fencing around the site. - Installation of more effective signage to guide visitors - Introduction of property marking scheme In 2015/16 - Changes to parent lunches system - Finger guards installed on all internal/external doors. - Celebration of e-safety day Following the school’s Safer School accreditation last year, Trinity CE Primary School has continued the process with even greater commitment. This week, I attended a ‘Safer School Group’ meeting at the school and I’d like to congratulate the school for their hard work in maintaining the accreditation. The Group meeting was positive and involved staff, governors, pupils, the Police and Shropshire Council. We reviewed security/safety, reflected on any issues/concerns including feedback from parents/pupils and planned for the future. The next Safer School Group meeting is scheduled for Summer 2018. Overall, excellent!
