Student Handbook 2021-22

BE RESPECTFUL
Prevent and Values which Britain support
We promote what are known as ‘British Values’ at Dv8. These include:
democracy.
the rule of law.
individual liberty.
mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and
beliefs and for those without faith.
We also follow the Government’s ‘Prevent’ strategy, designed to keep us safe
from the dangers of radicalization or extremism of any sort. Radicalisation
involves developing increasingly negative views influenced by a political or
religious ideology or cause.
As outlined in our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy we treat
radicalisation and extremism with the same level of attention as any other
safeguarding issue.
We will run sessions on the national Prevent Strategy and ‘British Values’ as
part of your induction and PSD education. To keep you safe, we use
Lanschool software to check and monitor online activity (on college
computers/ network) for signs of extremist, harmful or inappropriate
content and offer targeted support through the Student Services team.
Equality and Diversity
One of Dv8’s values is inclusivity and the belief that all people are of equal
worth, entitled to be treated fairly and without prejudice in every aspect of
College life. We expect all our students to show consideration for
themselves, and for others, at all times. More information about our Equality
and Diversity Policy can be found on the College website.
