This guidance applies to schools in England identified in Ofsteds education inspection framework, including:

• local-authority-maintained schools
• academies
• non-association independent schools
• registered early years settings

This self-assessment tool has been designed to assist schools in England to review their Prevent related responsibilities in line with:

• Section 26 of the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015 (CTSA)
• education inspection framework (EIF) 2022

The tool helps schools to understand how well embedded their existing policies and practices are, and to encourage a cycle of continuous review and improvement. Use of the tool is not mandatory but contains both requirements and recommended good practice activities to meet those requirements. The tool should be read in conjunction with:

• the Prevent duty guidance
• the education inspection framework (EIF)
