Prevent was developed and run without regard to the Public Sector Equality Duty

Evidence

The PSED has been in force since April 2011. There is very little evidence that PSED requirements were taken into account in relation to Prevent, either when the revised strategy was developed, or at any time since, including when it was made a legal duty on all public authorities. — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 392

Categorization

• XREF: This is a legal-technical argument for classifying Prevent’s racism as structural: the report grounds its claims in UK equality law, a distinct evidentiary strategy from both Runnymede’s conceptual framing and Bleich’s survey-based measurement. — connects to: Prevent policy is discriminatory, disproportionate, and counterproductive — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia: Still a Challenge for Us…, 124
