Fundamental British Values: Prevent Strategy Ideas for Teachers

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Prevent Strategy places a mandatory duty on education professionals to promote fundamental British values.

This guide explains what these values mean and offers ways to incorporate them into everyday life through lessons and special events.

What are the Fundamental British Values?

"Fundamental British values" are a set of social attitudes thought to maintain social cohesion and equality. These values are:

Democracy.

The rule of law.

Individual liberty.

Mutual respect for, and tolerance of, those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith.

British Values Explained

Democracy describes our national electoral system and the skills needed to participate in it successfully. Democracy relies on listening to the needs of everyone and adapting a decision until the vast majority agree. The democratic process requires rigorous thinking, perspective-taking, patience, and understanding.

Individual liberty is the right of British citizens to make choices regarding the elements of their life that are outside of government control. This refers to freedom of speech and the right to make choices about our education, food, beliefs, opinions, work, family, etc.

The rule of law refers to creating an attitude of accountability and respect towards the laws and rules of institutions and nation-states.

Mutual respect and tolerance is an attitude that recognises and respects the individual liberty of others - even if their choices, lifestyle, and beliefs are ones you don't share.

As well as promoting these values to students, the conduct of all school staff should reflect them. Teachers can be issued with a Misconduct Order where there is evidence that their behaviour undermines British values or promotes political or religious extremism.

How Can I Embed British Values in Lessons?

Schools should have a clear strategy for promoting these values, in their work, as well as methods of showing how this strategy has been effective (e.g. through lesson plans or pupil voice).

Some subjects, such as PSHE, health and relationships education, history, citizenship, and religious education, offer quite explicit subject links. The statutory programmes of study across all key stages, for these subjects include learning outcomes relating to understanding stereotyping, promoting tolerance, respecting differences, and understanding the role and workings of democracy in Britain.

However, opportunities should also be found for embedding British values in lessons within subject with less explicit links - for example, through the texts that are chosen to be studied in English, or in discussions related to the works and artists studied in art and design.

The following are some ideas to further promote British values within school. We have split these up into age ranges, although most strategies can be adapted to suit different age groups.

Teaching British Values in Early Years

Early years settings are well placed to begin to establish the fundamental British values, and they are embedding in many of the routines and learning experiences children will encounter.

Examples of ways to foster this include:
Incorporate Choice
By providing child-initiated learning experiences, where children are given opportunities to decide on the activities they wish to pursue, you can help to foster the concept of individual liberty, whilst providing a framework of rules which nurture tolerance and respect. For example, a child may need to wait for an activity to become free if another child has chosen before them.

You can also begin to develop an understanding of democracy by offering choice at a group or class level. This can be something as simple as offering two stories to be read aloud and asking for a show of hands to make the decision. Children will experience having a vote that counts, contributing to a decision, and also abiding by group choices that may or may not reflect your personal wishes.
Reflect children's individual interests
Anyone who has worked with young children has witnessed the power of show and tell. Children enjoy sharing their interests and news with their peers. Viewed from a perspective of British values, this simple forum for sharing offers both a reinforcement of their individual liberty, showing that their interests and ideas are valued, and promotes ideas of difference and tolerance as they learn about the things that are important to their peers.

Learning experiences within the early years should reflect and build upon the interests of the children, providing them with stimuli to encourage questions and engagement.
Establish clear and consistent rules
By establishing clear and consistent rules for behaviour, you are able to reinforce the importance of rules, alongside the values of tolerance and respect. These should be expressed in child-friendly terms which are easily understood - for example 'kind words' might be enough to remind children that we do not call people names or try to hurt their feelings with our words.

Teaching British Values in Primary Schools
School Councils
Most schools recognise the importance of including pupil voice in their decision-making process. School councils allow children to put themselves forward for a position of responsibility. Representatives are usually voted for by their peers to represent them (often one or two councillors per class), in order to put their ideas, questions, and sometimes concerns, to a larger meeting of the school council.

Representatives usually hold the position for a set period of time (e.g. a term) and then other children have a chance to put themselves forward.

As children get older, they could be encouraged to put forward a more detailed pitch for why they think they should hold the position and what they would want to do for their peers, as their representative.

This process works for all school-age children and gives them a chance to be involved in a democratic process on many levels - as voters, representatives, and constituents.
Mock Elections
Sometimes schools take the opportunity to mirror current events and hold mock elections in line with general elections or occasional referendums. This gives children an opportunity to learn about what is involved, and deepen their understanding of the importance of such events that they will encounter in the media.

Depending on the age of the children, this could provide excellent learning opportunities to look at party political agendas, with an emphasis on tolerance of differing viewpoints.
Co-constructing class rules or values
In primary schools, the first week of term often provides a good opportunity to write a set of class values or rules which will form a contract for the year ahead. This allows opportunity to discuss why rules are needed and how they benefit the whole community. Teachers can tie this in with learning about laws in a wider sense.

Once the ideas are agreed, the class can work together to create a display for the classroom so that they can be easily referred to, or perhaps a charter that is signed by every member of the class - including the teaching staff.

Try to make these positive values or rules - so rather than 'We do not interrupt', opt for 'We listen to each other'.

Teaching British Values in Secondary Schools

Strategies such as school councils or mock elections will also work well in a secondary setting, although you will be able to delve further into the intricacies of the democratic process with older children.
Co-constructing class rules or values
With regards to older children, some secondary schools have successfully created 'school values' in consultation with pupils. These can then become the basis of reward system - for example if one of the chosen values is 'kindness' then children who are found acting kindly to a peer can be rewarded with achievement points or some other form of recognition.

Both class and school rules should be reflective of a wider school culture of tolerance and respect.

Our Prevent Duty Training gives you a clear and concise overview of the Prevent duty. There are opportunities throughout to apply your learning through scenarios and case studies, and Choose Your Path sector-specific content. You can also find our Prevent Duty Guidance Pack for Teachers here.

Embedding British Values in the Wider School Culture

Across all key stages, lessons and strategies on the British values will not be successful in isolation. The key values need to be embedded in every area of school life, from official policies, to the ways children are greeted in corridors.

Children need to see the values reflected in the school culture, and to feel that they as individuals are treated with respect and tolerance, and they are in turn expected to treat others that way.

The following are some ways that schools can help cement such a culture:

Behaviour policies - the values of tolerance and respect should be reflected in a clear and consistent behaviour policy.

Celebrating differences - again this needs to be done on many levels, from choices in books for story time to acknowledging and celebrating a range of festivals in assemblies.

Actively rewarding the values that you seek to instil - again this can be reflected in behaviour policies but it can be as simple as remembering to thank someone for their kindness.

Valuing pupil voice - this needs to go further than having a school council because it is the 'done thing'. Pupils' views should be sought, listened to, and acted upon in an appropriate way. There should be a number of ways for students input into this - for example, focussed email surveys (where there is an opportunity to remain anonymous) can be useful.

Part of the Prevent Duty for the education sector is to promote British values and to be able to evidence this, through lesson plans and policies, etc. However, these values are not new to education. They are something you will already be promoting through your teaching practice - from teaching nursery-aged children to share resources and take turns, to encouraging A-level students to examine an issue from multiple viewpoints in an essay. We hope some of the strategies in this article will help you to recognise where you are already promoting British values in your practice, and to build upon them.

This text clearly has a limited shelf-life but is very topical and gives us a chance to discuss democracy as part of British values. It is quite a detailed comprehension and I have included some Level 1 Reformed Functional Skills Reading questions e.g. explaining apostrophe use. Whilst not expressly a Level 2 text, it does give a chance to discuss issues of fact, opinion and bias.

Sensitive Content Control on Instagram, which allows you to decide how much sensitive content shows up in Explore.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Today we're launching Sensitive Content Control on Instagram, which allows you to decide how much sensitive content shows up in Explore. We believe people should be able to shape Instagram into the experience that they want. We've started to move in this direction with tools like the ability to turn off comments or someone from interacting with you on Instagram.

Our Community Guidelines outline what kind of content can be on Instagram, and the point of these guidelines is to keep people safe. We don't allow hate speech, bullying or other content that might present a risk of harm to people. We also have rules about what kind of content we show you in places like Explore; we call these our Recommendation Guidelines . These guidelines were designed to help ensure that we don't show you sensitive content from accounts you don't follow. You can think of sensitive content as posts that don't necessarily break our rules, but could potentially be upsetting to some people - such as posts that may be sexually suggestive or violent.

This new feature gives you control over sensitive content. You can decide to leave things as they are or you can adjust the Sensitive Content Control to see more or less of some types of sensitive content. We recognize that everybody has different preferences for what they want to see in Explore, and this control will give people more choice over what they see.

To view your Sensitive Content Control, go to your profile, tap the Settings menu in the upper right corner, tap Account, then tap Sensitive Content Control. Here, you can decide whether to keep the setting at its default state, Limit, or to see more, Allow, or less of some types of sensitive content, Limit Even More. You can change your selection at any time. One exception to this: the Allow option will not be available to people under 18.

Our hope is that this gives you more choice, another way to make Instagram work better for you.

For more information about Instagram's new Sensitive Content Control, you can visit the Help Center .

Article: The Power of Language in Safeguarding Practice

# data[].attributes.subject
Article: The Power of Language in Safeguarding Practice

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Through verbal and written communication, language is embedded within our daily lives. Yet language is not neutral. Through our use of language, whether consciously or unconsciously, we can exacerbate existing inequalities.

It is important that we take the time to reflect on the language we use and the impact this might have on those around us. This could be in an employment setting or relate to the language we use within our network of friends and family.

Language and Safeguarding

From a safeguarding perspective, language is crucial.

As people working within the safeguarding sector, it is important that we consider the terminology we use and explain any 'jargon' and complex terminology to ensure that people understand what safeguarding is and what their role is if they have any concerns.

Different agencies and professions have different ways of understanding and describing needs and thus a complex range of terminology and acronyms are often used. If this terminology is not explained, it can mean that other professionals and the people and families we work with, feel disempowered and excluded, which in turn, may harm partnership working and ultimately affect outcomes and wellbeing.

The language used within safeguarding can change regularly. In response the NCVO have developed a helpful guide of the phrases that are commonly used.

For practitioners supporting children and adults, using appropriate language will highlight that you understand their experiences and may encourage someone to disclose harm and abuse or access support.

How can we De-Stigmatise Language?

If the words used by 'professionals' imply hierarchy, moral superiority or suggest victim-blaming, this could have a stigmatising impact. Choosing neutral terminology or shifting phrases to describe the abuse or harm that has occurred, rather than blaming the victim, can make a huge difference in increasing inclusivity within safeguarding practice.

For example:

Vojack (2009) suggests the words 'person' 'or individual' could be used instead of 'client', 'patient' and 'recipient'. Better yet, the actual names of people may be used instead of assigning categories and labels. These changes reduce the hierarchy within the language that is used.

The Children's Society and Victim Support recommend avoiding using terms such as 'the young person has been contacting adult males/females via phone or internet', when discussing the exploitation of young people. This phrase implies that young person is responsible for the communication, rather than reflecting the abusive context. Instead say 'adults have been contacting the young person' or 'the young person may have been groomed'.

Sporting Equals suggest avoiding using terms such as 'hard to reach' as this implies individuals choose not to engage and fails to recognise the structural inequalities and barriers people may encounter. Instead, phrases such as 'underrepresented communities' or 'communities that face barriers to participation'.

Using Language to Describe Individuals

Everyone is different. Therefore, it is important that you ask the people you are communicating with how they would like to be referred to or described. For instance, research by the National Autistic Society and Mind found that some people preferred the use of identity-first language (i.e. being referred to as an autistic person), whilst others preferred the term 'a person with autism' as they felt autism only made up one part of their identity.

If you are unsure, ask the person you are communicating with how they would like to be described.

Additionally, there has been a growing concern about the terminology used to describe people impacted by racial discrimination. Sporting Equals recommends using terms such as 'racially diverse communities' or using phrases such as 'a person with Indian heritage' to be specific about who you are describing.

Finally, research by Scope found that many people feel uncomfortable speaking to people with disabilities. In response, they have developed suggestions for appropriate language. Scope encourage people to use terms such as 'disabled people/person', 'people with a learning difficulty' or 'a wheelchair user' as opposed to describing someone as 'wheelchair bound'.

Language is Always Evolving

The language we use changes regularly. This happens as new laws come into place and when the sector realises language can be improved to represent people more accurately or to cause less harm.

This blog aims to raise awareness on the importance of language within safeguarding and suggestions some examples of how changes to language could promote inclusivity.

It is important that we continue to reflect on the language we use and develop our practice, to increase accessibility for all.

If you have any resources that support organisations or practitioners to adapt their language, please get in touch!

The Prevent strategy has been re-focused following a review. The strategy now contains three objectives: to respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat from those who promote it; to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure that they are given appropriate advice and support; and to work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation that we need to address.

It is guided by a number of key principles

These include:

Prevent will remain an integral part of the government's counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST

Prevent will address all forms of terrorism, including the extreme right wing. However, it is clear that Prevent work must be targeted against those forms of terrorism that pose the greatest risk to our national security. Currently, the greatest threat comes from Al Qa'ida, its affiliates and like-minded groups

Prevent will tackle non-violent extremism where it creates an environment conducive to terrorism and popularises ideas that are espoused by terrorist groups

Prevent will make a clearer distinction between our counter-terrorist work and our integration strategy. Prevent depends on the success of that strategy. But the two cannot be confused or merged together. Failure to appreciate the distinction risks securitising integration and reducing the chances of our success

Prevent must do much better in evaluating and monitoring progress against a common set of objectives. Money has been wasted. That must stop

public money will not be provided to extremist organisations who do not support the values of democracy, human rights, the rule of law and mutual respect and tolerance of different faith groups.

Objectives

The strategy now contains three objectives, these are to:

respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat from those who promote it

prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure that they are given appropriate advice and support

work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation that we need to address

The Lord Carlile review

Lord Carlile has said that the Prevent strategy has his full support. He said: 'It provides a template for challenging the extremist ideas and terrorist actions which seek to undermine the rule of law and fundamental British political values and institutions.'

Further information

Included here are the strategy, the consultation responses, Lord Carlile's report on the review and the strategy, the equality impact assessment and an executive summary of the strategy in Arabic.

Date: Tue Jun 07 11:46:01 BST 2011

This is the Prevent strategy, presented to Parliament by the Home Secretary Theresa May in June 2011.

This is 2011 report by Lord Carlile of Berriew on the independent oversight of the Prevent review and strategy. He covers the context of Prevent, the framework, the new strategy, the three objectives and delivery.

This document summarises the responses received for the three-month consultation on Prevent, which began in November 2010. It includes the consultation questions, the submitted written contributions by individuals and groups, and the overall responses from the general public to key Prevent consultation questions.

This equality impact assessment (EIA) covers the aims, objectives and projected outcomes, data collection, stakeholder involvement and consultation, impact assessment and action plan.

This is the executive summary of the Prevent strategy (released in June 2011) in Arabic.

Blog - How do you teach British Values to other cultures?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Department for Education (DfE) published guidance on promoting British values in schools in 2014. This was done with the aims of ensuring young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain.

The government defines 'fundamental British values' as democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths. The initiative was a response by Michael Gove, following the "Trojan House Affair", where it was alleged that Islamists were trying to take over state schools in Birmingham.

Teachers promoting these British values will be inspected by Ofsted, as part of their school inspections.

But how should a school approach teaching these British values to different cultures?

What are the British Values?

The addition of British Values to the curriculum means that pupils are expected to learn the following:

how citizens can influence decision-making through the democratic process

that the freedom to hold other faiths and beliefs is protected in law

that people having different faiths or beliefs to oneself (or having none) should be accepted and tolerated, and should not be the cause of prejudicial or discriminatory behaviour

why it is important to identify and combat discrimination

Value 1: Democracy
This describes our national electoral system and the skills needed to participate in it. It explains the need to listen to everyone and not adapting a decision until the vast majority agree. It explains that not every person can be accommodated for all the time, and that the process requires rigorous thinking, perspective-talking, patience and understanding.
Value 2: Individual liberty
This is the right of British citizens to make choices regarding elements of their life that are outside of government control. This refers to freedom of speech, as well as the right to make choices about education, food, work, family etc.
Value 3: The rule of law
This refers to creating an attitude of respect and accountability towards laws and the rules of institutions.
Value 4: Mutual respect and tolerance
This is an attitude that recognises and respects the individual liberty of others - even choices, lifestyles and beliefs that you may not agree with.

You can find out more about the values here.

Why should British values be taught in schools?

These values were first set out by the government in the 'Prevent' strategy in 2011. Prior to this, schools were required to respect these values, but since 2014 they must have a clear strategy for embedding these values and show how their work with pblils has been effective in doing so.

The aim of the change was to:

When should British values be taught in schools?

British Values can be taught as part of PSHE. Jigsaw PSHE is a comprehensive scheme of work relevant from Year 1 to Year 6, and contributes to the British Values agenda significantly - through direct teaching of information and experiential learning.

How should British values be explained to different cultures?

According to The Conversation, teachers have considerable freedom in terms of how values are promoted. Some fall back on the Union Jack, the Queen and fish and chips - confusing British values with symbols and stereotypes.

Having rules at school, giving students choice, discussing social issues and socialising with diverse ranges of the population establishes the skills needed to participate into British life.

Students could be engaged in democracy by creating a democratic classroom culture. Pupils of all ages are eager to participate in politics when the right questions are asked. An inclusive classroom culture can be created if everyone feels protected and valued no matter what their point of view.

For individual liberty, it may be constructive to discuss clothing and how it is a matter of personal choice. It can be explained to student that it isn't their place to comment on personal clothing choices linked to culture and religion.

Teaching Rule of Law can be achieved through a games-based lesson on rules and accountability. Every child has experienced how unfair it feels when game rules are broken by individuals, and this is a natural way of explaining that fair laws are intended to create equality.

How can EDArcade help in teaching British values to different cultures?

EDArcade has a range of games designed to teach students about British Values, through a fun and exciting platform.

'British Icons' involves the player chasing down various British icons, such as The Angel of the North or a famous Black Cab. This is ideal for pupils who have recently transferred to a UK school.
