Prevent referrals rocketed by almost 40% last year in England and Wales 🚨
Of those referred into this counter-terrorism programme, the majority were under 18. Almost 400 were children under 10!
More than a third have a mental health condition or are neurodiverse.
This is a huge expansion of the surveillance state.
