Prevent data sharing working group

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Greater Manchester Police should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Greater Manchester Police,

I've been shown some 2018 documents containing details of a working group involving the GMP, Department for Education, universities of Manchester and Salford and FE institutions including Manchester College. One aim of the working group seems to be to create a legal means for Prevent data to be shared between FE and HE institutions.

I would like to request the following under the FOI Act.

1. Any material outlining the purpose / brief / framework of this working group
2. A list of the dates, locations and attendees at each of these meetings
3. The minutes for each of these meetings
4. A copy of the final agreed protocol on Prevent information sharing
5. All previous draft versions of this final document including comments on proposed changed
6. A copy of all correspondence related to the development of this document
7. A list of all institutions with whom (4) was shared as a model policy and copies of the relevant correspondence
8. A list of all educational institutions using (4) or some variation of it

Yours faithfully,

Hilary Aked
