Apologies to other members of @HcriSoc and @BAMEdical_UoM for not tagging you. I didn’t find everyone in twitter but we at @MancMedact were super-impressed by all of you.

"But the bigger problem is that racial and religious biases exist in society – in all of us – & Prevent provides a framework to operationalise those biases Moreover, it does so in a way that criminalises the people we refer"
