“We have found that the best evidence against Prevent is from the people who have encountered it, but we also place value on expert moderation and academic review.

We have an advisory panel of experts  from different sectors including education, health, human rights and data privacy, which informs all our research and media.”

We hold the largest number of Prevent cases in the UK and are regularly asked to contribute our cases and research to other reports.

We also use our case library and expert views to submit to government panels, policy working groups, and international fora such as the European Court of Human Rights and the United Nations.

We also produce our own expert view opinion pieces and regularly contribute to media reports, podcasts and documentaries.

If you give £50, you could support our media team for two hours.

Our documentation informs our media output and our research so that our evidence and insights reach publications, rights bodies, government and the public.
