Unpicking Prevent (Glasgow)

With Richard Haley (SACC). Chaired by Sam Macartney (Unison).

Come along and take a critical look at the islamophobic "training" being given to social workers, teachers, lecturers, and NHS staff in Scotland to teach them how to spot and stop "radicalisation".

Whether you are being told to attend Prevent training by your boss, or you are likely to be on the receiving end of Prevent monitoring (most of us), or you have already had to sit through the training at your workplace, this workshop is for you.

The graphic  is taken from a case study by CAGE. It's a true story about a case that occurred in England, but the name of the individual has been changed. Ahmad, a student, stopped taking part in music lessons based on his religious belief. Although he was not disruptive in lessons and was an excellent student based on behaviour and grades, he was invited to attend a meeting with the school’s PREVENT safeguarding officer. This occurred without the consent of Ahmad’s parents. Once his parent found out, they pressed the school on what had warranted the meeting with PREVENT and what had been asked of him during the meetings. The teachers either did not answer or they deflected the questions.
