The Prevent Strategy covers all types of terrorism and extremism, including the extreme right wing, violent Islamist groups and other causes. 

From July 2015 all schools (as well as other organisations) have a duty to safeguard children from radicalisation and extremism.  This means we have a responsibility to protect children from extremist and violent views the same way we protect them from drugs or gang violence or keep them safe on line.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Prevent Strategy please contact Mrs Davies, Mr Cook or Mrs Lochhead (Designated Safeguarding Leads) at dsl@dormansland.surrey.sch.uk.

At Dormansland Primary School

• We recognise that life can be full of challenges and that we all need help, support or guidance at some point in our lives.
• We recognise that sometimes the challenges that children & parents/carers face, may be, or feel, overwhelming
• We recognise that early intervention or Early Help at these challenging times can help our children feel safe, supported and settled
• We believe that Early Help means providing support as soon as a problem emerges, at any point in a child’s life
• We know that providing Early Help is more effective in promoting the welfare and positive wellbeing of children, than reacting later.

At Dormansland we know that any child may benefit from Early Help.  We are also aware of the potential increase in need for those children who:

• have a disability, certain health conditions or who have specific additional needs
• have special educational needs (whether or not they have a statutory Education, Health and Care Plan)
• are Young Carers
• are showing signs of being drawn into anti-social or criminal behaviour, including gang involvement and association with organised crime groups
• are frequently missing from home 
• are at risk of modern slavery, trafficking or exploitation
• are at risk of being radicalised or exploited
• are in a family circumstance which presents challenges for the child, such as drug and alcohol misuse, adult mental health issues or domestic abuse
• are misusing drugs or alcohol themselves
• have returned home to their family from care
• are privately fostered
• have a parent/carer in custody

What ‘Early Help’ looks like at Dormansland

• Social, emotional or mental health support for your child
• Behaviour support
• Bereavement support (signposting)
• SEN support and advice
• Targeted in school interventions
• Signposting to other agencies or foodbanks
• Referrals to outside ‘expert’ agencies
• Early Help Assessments or Team Around the Family support
• Graded Care Profile 2 to help identify specific needs and the best support plan

If you think that your child would benefit from accessing ‘Early Help’ support in school or you would be interested in knowing more about how we can support you or your family, please contact:
