In Waltham Forest the council is introducing a specific ‘counter-radicalisation’ project in primaryschools, known as Building Resilience through Integration and Trust (BRIT).

In Waltham Forest, many parents, teachers and governors are very concerned about Brit.

Keeping Our Community United.

We are calling this public meeting to demonstrate our concern for the Brit project and Prevent agenda. We call on our Council to abandon the BRIT project and recognise Prevent is doing more harm than good.

Speakers include:

Alex Kenny (National Union of Teachers London Region)

Canon Steven Saxby (St Barnabus Church)

Ibtihal Bsis (Armanaz Chambers)

Ifhat Smith,

Jahangir Mohammed (CEO of Communica Consultancy),

Haras Ahmed (PreventWatch)

Sabby Dhalu (Stand up to Racism)
