information

sex; and reason; and whether that referral was passed from your school
safeguarding officer (or equivalent) to the local Prevent officer (or

– we have referred no students to the borough for Prevent issues. However,
in the last 5 years CSC have informed us 7 of our students who are either
living in homes of persons known to the authorities for Prevent concerns
or were connected with persons of concern by casual association.  5 of
these students were good students who presented no Prevent issues at
school but were monitored/supported every 7 weeks  by our internal
multiagency support panel and the other 2 students were 6^th Formers who
just happened to be on the list of contacts on a cell phone of an
individual who was not a student of ours who was a Prevent concern. After
investigation by external agencies these two  6^th Formers were found to
have no Prevent concerns and just casually acquainted with the person of
concern.

annual Prevent training as part of our CP training and provided with
