Description

See 'Attachments' for a full description. All publicly-funded FE providers must comply with the Prevent duty. The duty requires providers to have due regard to the need to prevent vulnerable people from being drawn into terrorism. The ways in which providers are expected to meet the duty is set out in statutory guidance for FE institutions. DfE is committed to supporting the FE sector in meeting its responsibilities under Prevent, including promoting British values. This includes those providers in the sector who focus on learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Existing Prevent resources may not be easily accessible to SEND learners in FE, particularly at Entry Level 3 and below. In addition, the safeguarding challenge posed by this group is distinct to other learners.
DfE wish to commission resources in two stages to support the delivery of the Prevent duty to SEND learners in FE providers whose learning level is below Entry Level 3.
