You don't need a standalone policy
You're not required to have a separate policy on the Prevent duty.
However, your school should have robust safeguarding policies in place that:
- Make sure those at risk of radicalisation are identified and that appropriate support is provided
- Include the process for raising concerns about radicalisation
- Set out how these concerns are assessed, and the approach for submitting a Prevent referral
- Are proportionate and based on your understanding of the local area's risk
The Prevent duty should be seen as part of your wider safeguarding approach, and so you can incorporate it into your existing policies.
This is set out in paragraphs 161 to 164 of the Home Office's statutory Prevent duty guidance.
