The Independent Review of Prevent, Parliamentary Roundtable, 22nd July 2019

On 22nd July 2019, Forward Thinking facilitated a roundtable between representatives from the Home Office and diverse British Muslim community representatives from Manchester, Bradford, Birmingham and London. The aim of the meeting was to discuss the Independent Review of Prevent, its proposed Terms of Reference (ToR) and the appointment process for the Independent Reviewer. The meeting developed from roundtables Forward Thinking facilitated between 17th-18th July 2019, in West Yorkshire and the North West of England. The objective was not to discuss the relative merits or criticisms of Prevent but rather to focus on the review process and how to ensure its effectiveness and transparency.  The meeting was held under Chatham House Rule to enable free and frank discussion.
