Deleting information after Prevent referrals (plural). England.
Morning. I had two or three Prevent referrals (the last one was from two years ago, 16+ but under 18 at the time) but it never led anywhere. That being said I've always wondered how much information they had on me. Social services were involved in my life -for unrelated reasons- and cooperated with them, as well as CAMHS and potentially my college at the time though I'm less certain about that. I don't know if I engaged with these people from Prevent and I don't know who or what institution(s) made the referrals. All I recall was being asked if I wanted to speak to them and refusing or saying that I'm not sure, and the fact that they seemed to be in some of my meetings with social services.
Can you successfully request that your information is deleted from their database and how so? I hear that it's possible to do so via your local police force (would be convenient as I'm looking into deleting a youth caution/biometrics too...) but I've also heard that it's very rare for them to honour deletion requests in regards to the Prevent program, and that they can retain your information for decades.
