Our Cases
“My autistic son felt cornered under questioning related to Prevent, and he pretty much exploded. It is impossible for him to reason in such a confrontational situation. I don’t think the deputy head took this into account. He had never spoke to my son before, and never took the trouble to get to know him.”Â

The Prevent Duty
The Prevent Duty is championed by the government as an effective strategy to prevent terrorism, however, evidence suggests this is having an adverse effect on communities. Thousands of Prevent referrals are made each year but very few of them lead to any intervention.
Prevent Watch has supported hundreds of people impacted by Prevent. Our case studies show a huge failing of the Prevent Duty. We provide a free helpline with dedicated case workers to support people impacted by the Prevent Duty. We provide access to lawyers, media, research and much more.
