    Abstract

    Drawing on mixed methods research carried out with school
    and college staff during 2015 and 2016, this chapter provides insight into
    how the Prevent Duty ‘landed’ in schools and colleges during the first
    18 months after its introduction in July 2015. The discussion centres on four key questions: (1) To what extent did staff express overall opposition
    to or support for the Prevent Duty? (2) To what extent was the Prevent
    Duty interpreted by staff in schools and colleges as a straightforward
    extension of existing safeguarding responsibilities? (3) To what extent did
    staff perceive the Duty to be exacerbating the stigmatisation of Muslim
    students? (4) To what extent did staff perceive the Duty to have a ‘chilling
    effect’ on classrooms and on student voices?
