You're expected to assess the risk of pupils being drawn into terrorism
You should base your assessment on a shared understanding with partners of the potential risk in the local area.
You should demonstrate:
- An understanding of the national threat picture
- A general understanding of the risks affecting children and young people
- A specific understanding of local risks and the potential impact on your setting or pupils
- A proportionate response to the level of threat and risk, considering the phase, size and setting type
This is set out in the DfE's guidance on Prevent risk assessments.
