What is Safeguarding?
Safeguarding
Safeguarding means protecting people’s health, wellbeing and human rights, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. DBC Training believes that it is always unacceptable for learners and employees to experience abuse of any kind and recognise its responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all by a commitment to embed practices that protect all. DBC Training recognise that: – The welfare of all is paramount – All people, regardless of age, disability, gender, racial heritage, religious belief, sexual orientation or identity, have the right to equal protection from all types of harm or abuse. In order to help us to achieve this it is essential that anyone coming in to DBCs premises or in to contact with our learners and employees, respects and adheres to our guidelines.
What is Prevent?
Prevent
DBC Training complies with our responsibility under the Counter Terrorism and Security Act (CTSA) 2015 to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. This is often called ‘ the Prevent Duty’. This means that we have a responsibility to raise awareness and share concerns if we feel any of our learners are showing indicators of behaviours which would suggest that they are at risk of radicalisation. The major risk associated with radicalisation is that it can lead to extremism. WHAT IS PREVENT? Prevent is part of the Government counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST, and aims to stop people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism; as such, it is described as the only long-term solution to the threat we face from terrorism. Prevent focuses on all forms of terrorism and operates in a pre-criminal space. It provides support and redirection to vulnerable individuals at risk of being groomed into terrorist activity before any crimes are committed.” Our designated Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for Prevent is our Safeguarding and Prevent Manager.
