PREVENT Digest for March 2018
Dear all,
A number of important reports that look into the impact of PREVENT were published this month and are listed below. These findings need to be heard so please take the time to follow the links and forward this email to colleagues, friends, MPs and anyone else who you think should read them.
Please also take time to download the digest for March, it's one of the longest digests yet so it contains much more than will fit into this email.
We have convened our first working groups this month and have explored how best to support those impacted by PREVENT and CVE. This has already involved creating new publishing opportunities and discussing how we can influence policy.
Please reply to this email, giving your name, location and a list of research interests if you want to get involved.
