"Ministers are 'failing to learn the lessons' from the #Southport attack & allowing violence-obsessed #teenagers to remain a 'catastrophic' threat to #society, #lawyers for #victims of the #atrocity have said ahead of the findings of an official #inquiry. A report on the July 2024 attack by the judge Sir Adrian Fulford, to be released on Monday, is expected to strongly criticise failings by a series of agencies, including the counter-terrorism programme #Prevent."

ORG's report shows that children make up the majority of Prevent referrals in the UK.

This is not a safeguarding service. It criminalises a generation as being suspect of future wrongdoing.
