Preventing Extremism and Radicalisation

Groomers of all kinds prey on feelings of stress and isolation to exploit vulnerable individuals, both online and offline. #Prevent protects individuals targeted by terrorist influences by providing local, multi-agency safeguarding support. This video gives an introduction to how Prevent works on the ground, told by those who have come into contact with the programme. Anyone can make a referral to Prevent. If you are concerned that someone you know is at risk of radicalisation, you can call the police on 101 to get advice or share a concern so that they can get support.

The Cheadle Academy is committed to providing a secure environment for our students.

There is no place for extremist views of any kind at TCA, whether from internal sources (students, staff or governor), or external sources -( school community, external agencies or individuals). Our students see our academy as a safe place where they can explore controversial issues safely and where our teachers encourage and facilitate this — we have a duty to ensure this happens.

We also recognise that if we fail to challenge extremist views we are failing to protect our students
