Prevent Watch has supported hundreds of people impacted by Prevent. Our case studies show a huge failing of the Prevent strategy. We provide a free help line with dedicated case workers to deal with Prevent, knowing your rights and access to lawyers when required.
We are not Government funded, we are independent and work to serve the community.
