Safeguarding is embedded within the curriculum of your learning programme and the content can differ significantly for each programme type.

# data[].attributes.body
Safeguarding training and awareness will be covered at several points throughout your Study Programme.

Safeguarding awareness will be delivered in the classroom at the start of your Study Programme.

You will be asked by your Tutor about Safeguarding at each learner progress review and whether you or any other learners have had any Safeguarding concerns. Your response will be recorded on your learner progress review.

You might also be asked a question about your Safeguarding knowledge by your Tutor or anyone else at Access Training.

You will also get the opportunity to to earn stickers when you have had training on topics such as British Values and Run, Hide, Tell. You can stick these on your Access Training lanyard.

There are also resources available to you in this and other Padlet presentations.

# data[].attributes.body
Safeguarding training and awareness will be conducted by your Trainer Assessor as part of the learner review process.

As an apprentice you will also be expected to understand any Safeguarding polices, procedures and arrangements in your workplace.

There are many Safeguarding resources available to you in this and other Padlets.

You will be asked about Safeguarding at each learner progress review and whether you or anyone in your workplace has had any Safeguarding concerns. Your response will be recorded on your learner progress review.

You might also be asked a question about your Safeguarding knowledge by your Trainer Assessor. Any response provided will be recorded on your learner progress review.

Risk Assessment

We will undertake regular Risk Assessments to ensure a safe and supportive learning environment for our learners.

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Checks

Access Training will ensure its own employees who work with children, young people and vulnerable adults are subject to the appropriate level of Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks before beginning any supervised work and that this check is repeated every three years.

A quick guide to DBS checks can be found below.

Conducting Searches

As part of our Safeguarding Policy and in order to minimise the problems caused by the unauthorised removal of property, or bringing of inappropriate property into the learning centre, employer premises or work placement, the centre has the right to carry out searches when it considers it necessary with due propriety being observed at all times.

Prevent is short for ‘Preventing Violent Extremism’.

The overall aim of Prevent is to stop people supporting violent extremism by raising awareness of the issues and supporting people who may be vulnerable.

The Government launched the new Prevent strategy in June 2011.

“…at the root of this Prevent strategy is the basic assertion that extremism breeds terrorism; and that extremism is the vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs”.

# data[].attributes.body
Democracy in modern usage, is a system of government in which the citizens exercise power directly or elect representatives from among themselves to form a governing body, such as a parliament.

# data[].attributes.body
The rule of law is the legal principle that law should govern a nation, as opposed to being governed by decisions of individual government officials.

It primarily refers to the influence and authority of law within society, particularly as a constraint upon behaviour, including behaviour of government officials

Rule of law implies that every citizen is subject to the law, including law makers themselves.

This is different from a dictatorship where the rulers are held above the law.

# data[].attributes.body
In politics, liberty consists of the social and political freedoms to which all community members are entitled.

Generally, liberty is distinctly differentiated from freedom in that freedom is primarily, if not exclusively, the ability to do as one wills and what one has the power to do; whereas liberty concerns the absence of arbitrary restraints and takes into account the rights of all involved.

If you have any concerns about you or someone else relating to Radicalisation or Extremism please contact Access Training as soon as possible.
You can contact;
Your Trainer Assessor or Becky Dutton on 01159587257

The Ministry of Tolerance defines tolerance as:
1) A fair and objective attitude toward those whose opinions and practices differ from one’s own.
2) The commitment to respect human dignity.
There are two definitions because the concept of tolerance covers a lot: attitudes as well actions, individual choices as well as social, political and legal commitments. It is also a vision that encompasses everybody.

# data[].attributes.body
The UK Home Office defines radicalisation as;
“The process by which people come to support terrorism and violent extremism and, in some cases, then join terrorist groups.”
No single measure will reduce radicalisation in the UK and that the only way to combat it is by targeting the at risk vulnerable groups and trying to assimilate them into society.

# data[].attributes.body
The Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance sets out what schools and colleges in England must do to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people under the age of 18.

# data[].attributes.body
One definition would be;
“To give consideration or have regard for someone's
feelings, wishes or rights”.

Access Training recognises the accepted governmental definition of extremism as:
‘Vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs; and/or calls for the death of members of our armed forces, whether in this country or overseas’.
One definition of an extremist is;
“A person who advocates or resorts to measures beyond the normal, especially in politics”.

What to do in the event of a terrorist attack. Guidance issued by Counter Terrorism Policing for members of the public.

In the unlikely event of a terrorist attack, remember to follow RUN HIDE TELL - guidance which can be applied to many situations and places.

RUN

escape if you can

consider the safest options

is there a safe route? RUN, if not HIDE

can you get there without exposing yourself to greater danger?

insist others leave with you, but don't let their indecision slow you down

leave belongings behind

do not attempt to film the incident. RUN

HIDE

If you cannot RUN, HIDE:

find cover from gunfire

if you can see the attacker, they may be able to see you. Cover from view does not mean you are safe. Bullets can go through glass, brick, wood and metal. You must still HIDE, even if you are behind a locked door

find cover from gunfire behind substantial brickwork or heavy reinforced walls

be aware of exits

try not to get trapped

be quiet, silence your phone and turn off vibrate

lock and barricade

move away from the door

TELL

When it is safe to do so, TELL bycalling 999

What do the police need to know? If you cannot speak or make a noise, listen to the instructions given to you by the call taker:

nature of the incident - what is happening?

location - where is the incident taking place? Give an address or general location

suspects - where are the suspects?

direction - where did you last see the suspects?

descriptions - describe the attacker, numbers, features, clothing, weapons etc.

further information - casualties, type of injury, building information, entrances, exits, hostages etc.

stop other people entering the building if it is safe to do so
