Basically, they asked schools and hospitals and councils and so forth to keep an eye out for children and vulnerable adults being radicalised into terrifying terrorists. They offer short and not very nuanced courses. The reality is that well-meaning or power-tripping local authorities very rarely find real terrorists but do refer a lot of children to this.
The majority of referrals are of children under 15. This can sometimes be for very little reason - little Timmy drew a gun so he's a white supremacist. Ironically, it often leads to frankly racist referrals of Muslims or Conservatives for citing mainstream views.
This is not quite as bad as it seems, it is however a government foul-up.
Nah it's definitely as bad as it seems.
They're saying you should call prevent if someone states the undeniable fact that Islam is incompatible with British values. How much worse could it get short of referring people for saying the sky is blue?
Go look up "Vordrak" on Encyclopedia Dramatica and the Kiwi Farms, ED summarizes everything wrong with him and the Kiwi's have a long ass thread about the motherfucker because he almost took out that site for drawing negative attention to his antics by getting Null's mom wrongfully terminated.

Unfortunately, it is not very good according to an official review published by the BBC.

It is worth reading the PreventWatch website.

Traitor.

For the British folks here, the government should not do anything like this.
