Our report shows that once referred to Prevent:

🔴 Data could be shared without consent.

🔴 Right to erasure disregarded.

🔴 Right to object or change data made too onerous, often requiring legal action at personal expense.

🔴 Data can be retained and shared for at least 6 years.

The processing of personal data under Prevent is neither proportionate nor necessary when the majority of referrals end with no action.

There’s especially no valid policing purpose when no criminal activity is involved.

Yet the UK government is redoubling its support for Prevent.

How data is managed and stored under the UK Prevent programme lacks transparency.

Organisations fall back on national security or law enforcement data protection exemptions.

This makes it very difficult for people to access their records and to request that data is removed.

⚠️ Prevent turns safeguarding into surveillance ⚠️

Institutions subject to the Prevent duty MUST ensure maximum transparency around referrals, data processing and data sharing.

Tell your Council (UK) to act on the concerns raised in our report.
