For over a decade, many people have raised concerns about the UK government’s Prevent strategy., these have included MP’s, NGO’s, UN Special Rapporteurs, community groups, charities and religious organisations.

After mounting pressure, the government announced an Independent review of Prevent in 2019. However, in response to the appointment of William Shawcross as head of this review, 550 signatories have committed to boycotting this review. Many more people have no confidence in the review and see this as a vehicle of embedding Prevent further into society.

The People’s Review of Prevent has been formed so that those impacted by Prevent can submit their evidence and concerns on an alternative and safe platform.
