Department for Education
From 1 July 2015 all schools are subject to a duty under section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, in the exercise of their functions, to
have
“due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”.
This duty is known as The Prevent Duty.

“Schools can build pupils’ resilience to radicalisation by promoting fundamental British values and enabling them
to challenge extremist views.
It is important to emphasise that the Prevent Duty is not intended to stop pupils debating controversial issues.
On the contrary, schools should provide a safe space in which children, young people and staff can understand the risks associated with terrorism and develop the knowledge
and skills to be able to challenge extremist arguments”

Proud to be British - British Values
Despite the mix of ethnicity, religion, sexuality, disability or gender we all share the same values:
1 democracy
2 respect for the rule of law
3 individual liberty and freedom of speech
4 mutual respect
5 tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
• ISIS = Islamic State (Iraq & Syria)
• Became prominent in 2014
• In June 2014, the group formally declared the establishment of a "caliphate" - a state governed in accordance with Islamic
law, or Sharia, by God's deputy on Earth, or caliph
• It has demanded that Muslims across the world swear allegi-ance to its leader - Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi - and migrate to ter-
ritory under its control
• IS has also told other jihadist groups worldwide that they must accept its supreme authority. Many already have, among them
several offshoots of the rival al-Qaeda network
• IS seeks to eradicate obstacles to restoring God's rule on Earth and to defend the Muslim community against infidels and
apostates.
• The group has welcomed the prospect of direct confrontation with the US-led coalition, viewing it as a harbinger of an end-
of-times showdown between Muslims and their enemies
ISIS - Extremist Views:
• They despise our modern, multi-racial, multi-cultural societies•
• They want Muslim people to feel loathed in their European homes and driven to join them in Syria•
• They want them to feel that they have only one true home – within the Islamic state
• They want our western countries to become fearful, closed, authoritarian societies
• They want us to divide and become weaker, less tolerant, less together – they want us more like them
OUR RESPONSE:• We must not let these attacks create tension and division between us
• We mustn’t let a climate of fear and suspicion unbalance our richly diverse communities
• We mustn’t condemn a whole community of innocent people for the actions of a tiny minority
Isobel Bowdery is a 22 year old survivor of the concert hall massacre. She played dead for over an hour as those lying face down around her were callously executed by the “circling vultures”. Her account is harrowing but its also inspirational. Its mainly about the helpers.But being a survivor of this horror lets me shed light on the heroes. To the man who put his life on the line by covering my brain while I whimpered … to the complete strangers who picked me up from the road and consoled me during the 45 minutes I genuinely thought my boyfriend was dead .. to the man who held me and told me everything was going to be alright despite being all alone and scared himself, to the friend who offered me shelter and went out to buy me clothes so I wouldn’t have to wear my blood-stained top. To all of you who have sent caring messages – you make me believe this world has the potential to be better.

Isobel Bowdery is a 22 year old survivor of the Bataclan Concert Hall massacre. She played dead for over an hour as those lying face down around her were callously executed by the “circling vultures”. Her account is harrowing but its
also inspirational. Its mainly about the helpers.
“But being a survivor of this horror lets me shed light on the heroes. To the man who put his life on the line by covering my head while I whimpered … to the complete strangers who picked me up from the road and consoled me during
the 45 minutes I genuinely thought my boyfriend was dead .. to the man who held me and told me everything was
going to be alright despite being all alone and scared himself ….to the friend who offered me shelter and went out
to buy me clothes so I wouldn’t have to wear my blood-stained top.
To all of you who have sent caring messages – you make me believe this world has the potential to be better”
