The whole referral to PREVENT process had moved with the terminal velocity of a grand piano falling from the top of the Burj Khalifa!
But then I demanded accountability.
It has been 6 MONTHS since the Prevent referral was made. I have been demanding accountability ever since but where have I got?
Making a referral of somebody to PREVENT is really easy, facilitated with greasy zealousness and fast-tracked with draconian police efficiency but holding people to account is RESISTED, OBSTRUCTED and or IGNORED.
This latest email thread between me and Sadie Bell, Director of Information Governance at HIOWHealthcare tells it all:
By the way, let us not forget that this latest appalling episode of my biographical account of my journey through mental health services in Basingstoke has a tap root running all the way down to Sally Mungall and CAMHS, Bramblys Drive, Basingstoke.
Email communication with Sadie Bell, Data Protection Officer Information Governance HIOWHeaalthcare Trust, on Tuesday, 16th December, 2025
BELL, Sadie ******************
Hi Mark
I am copying back in @JACKSON, Joe ******************************** to help support your clinical and mental health needs.
I am afraid I have provided you with all the information I can and can not disclose any other information, as per my emails below. Any information the ICO require, I will be happy to share direct with them and I will take directions from them.
I can not provide any further information at this stage, as explained below.
Regards

Nothing you say adds up, Sadie.
You have already disclosed PREVENT information to me.
Now that I want specific information about the Safeguarding Board communication with Gemma Stubbington you cite 'Section 45(4)(b) of the Data Protection Act 2018' and advisement by the police.
Why the obstruction, Sadie.
Why not offer the name and contact details of the police spokesman and be open and transparent?
Why not save me pain, effort and time? I am absolutely traumatised by this issue and can barely even sleep.
YOUR obstruction makes ME feel suicidal.

Hi Mark
I will provide this information direct to the ICO, when they make contact with me. I will fully support all review undertaken by the ICO, in relation to this matter

Well, they are absolutely wrong to advise you of this, Sadie.
I am not really surprised as Hampshire Police have already got things wrong and been corrected by the ICO on my behalf.
Please would you let me have the name and contact details of the police spokesman involved as I now need to inform the ICO.
This is serious and urgent.
Regards,
Mark

Dear Mark
We have been advised / informed by the police not to release any PREVENT information, under Section 45(4)(b) of the Data Protection Act 2018.
I am afraid I can not share the exact communications with you, as they are covered by PREVENT
I note you have reported this issue to the ICO and I will be happy to work with them to review the case and will follow any actions / outcomes that they recommend.
Regards

For the attention of Dr Layla Aitlhadj at Prevent Watch
Dear Sadie,
PLEASE would you inform me
‘Were you
1) instructed directly by the police to withhold the information in my particular case or
2) have YOU made the executive decision to withhold the information following YOUR interpretation of 'local' or 'national' guidelines?’
AND
‘Please either
Forward evidence of instructions from the police service to withhold information or
Signpost me to the particular part of the Prevent process that YOU believe lawfully exempts YOU from complying with my request for information.’
In your email you wrote
‘As Liz confirmed in her response, if we hold any information relating to you and a PREVENT referral, this would be exempt under Section 45(4)(b) of the Data Protection Act 2018, at the request of the police service and as part of the PREVENT process.’
This makes absolutely NO sense.
You have ALREADY forwarded part of the information that I have requested relating to me and a PREVENT referral, including the actual PREVENT forms completed by Gemma Stubbington. Why was the information already disclosed to me NOT also exempt?
NO information relating to me and a PREVENT referral should be exempt under Section 45(4)(b) of the Data Protection Act 2018 because there has been NO criminal offences committed by me and no criminal penalties accrued by me.
The entire PREVENT referral by Gemma Stubbington and endorsed by the Safeguarding Board under Susan Corley was a moment of hysteria, an over-reach and a serious abuse of power.
During my telephone conversation with Dawn Jenks 25487 of Prevent Referrals Hampshire Police on the 12th September, 2025 it was confirmed that she had been appointed my case for consideration. She told me that it was easy and straight forward to close my referral because there was NO evidence of any intention by me to commit a terrorist act. She read the statement by me, copied and pasted by Gemma Stubbington on the PREVENT referral forms and concluded, rightly, that my intention was to protest peacefully in London on 24th June, 2025.
Similarly, during my peaceful protest where I donned crow mask and cape and stood outside the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, Horse Guards in Whitehall and around Trafalgar Square, I was met by a member of SO15, counter-terrorism. I engaged with the officer, ‘D’, for around twenty minutes and had a cordial conversation after which he concluded, rightly, that I was of no concern whatsoever.
I WAS ENGAGED IN PEACFUL PROTEST!
MY PEACEFUL PROTEST WAS IN RESPONSE TO OUTSTANDING INJUSTICES AGAINST ME BY OTHER MENTAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS.
MY RIGHT TO PEACEFUL PROTEST, MY FREEDOMOF EXPRESSION AND MY FIGHT AGAINST OUTSTANDING INJUSTICES HAVE BEEN OPPRESSED!
PEACEFUL PROTEST SHOULD NEVER BE A PRETEXT FOR REFERRAL TO PREVENT!
THERE WERE NO CRIMINAL OFFENCES COMMITTED!
DAWN JENKS 25487 CLOSED THE REFERRAL! CASE CLOSED!
I had requested the information relating to communication between the Safeguarding Board and Gemma Stubbington ELEVEN WEEKS AGO!!
It seems obvious to me that you have been conspiring together to find some way of avoiding compliance with my Subject Access Request.
It seems obvious to me that the Safeguarding Board and or Gemma Stubbington have plenty to hide.
It seems obvious to me that the Safeguarding Board and Gemma Stubbington made serious errors of judgement and are now cynically obstructing my lawful access to records.
I have made yet another complaint to the ICO but will probably not be allocated a caseworker for up to 29 WEEKS.
I need ALL information about the contentious PREVENT referral by the end of January, 2026 to pass on to lawyers. I have a limited window of opportunity for taking legal action, specifically ONE YEAR. Gemma Stubbington, Joe Jackson and now YOU have, jointly, already wasted 6 MONTHS of my precious time. I believe you are all stalling, trying to run down the clock.
And, finally, I would have no reason to reach out to the healthcare services currently supporting me and/or contact my GP for further support but for the appalling way that I have been treated by the very same mental health services that have a duty of care over me.
Really, you have all done a brilliant job at diminishing me and making my life absolutely intolerable.
I WILL NOT BACK DOWN!!
Yours sincerely,
Mark Stock
