Data Sharing Agreements

Please provide the following documents:

Prevent/Channel Privacy Notice

Please refer to this previous information request on our disclosure log.

Information Management Strategy

This information is exempt from disclosure under Section 24 (National Security) and Section 31 (Law enforcement) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

As part of wider CT efforts the Government employs a range of programmes to safeguard susceptible individuals and the public. The nature of these programmes means that there is sometimes limited information about them in the public domain. Data protection documents contain detailed descriptions of the purposes for which information is being stored and used. Disclosing detailed operational information about certain intervention programmes, including information contained in data protection documents, would provide detailed information on how they operate and could undermine their effectiveness.

This information could be used by individuals or groups to devise counter strategies to these programmes, weakening their effectiveness and expose susceptible individuals to a greater risk of being drawn into terrorism. If more people are drawn into terrorism this would increase the national security threat to the UK. There is a serious terrorism threat to the United Kingdom and the Information Commissioner recognises that terrorists are highly motivated and will go to great lengths to achieve their goals.
