CAGE response to National PREVENT coordinator’s letter about our video

On the 20th of September 2018 we received a letter from Nik Adams, the National Coordinator of Prevent, to inform us of his objections to a video which showed testimony from a client of ours. Mr Adam claimed the footage would “damage community confidence” in Prevent and requested that we take it down.

We issued a full response to his claims, both to the press and on our website (which also explained why we refused to remove the video), and to Mr Adams himself. For complete transparency we’ve even attached the letter he sent to us below.
