Problem
What is failing, for whom and where?
02 · Overbroad profiling can stigmatise communities and damage cooperation.
03 · Programmes may count activity without proving reduced harm.
Root causes
Test causes before selecting projects.
Social grievances are oversimplified

Evidence
Record what is known, how it is known and what remains uncertain.
| Evidence area | What to establish | Key limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Prevention | Community safety concern and context | Publish source, date, geography, method and known limitations. |
| Community trust | Support referral, consent and safeguarding | Publish source, date, geography, method and known limitations. |
| Early support | Trust, discrimination and grievance signals | Publish source, date, geography, method and known limitations. |
| Rights safeguards | Programme mechanism and outcome evidence | Publish source, date, geography, method and known limitations. |
| Prevention | Rights, privacy and independent oversight | Publish source, date, geography, method and known limitations. |
Evidence rule: label verified evidence, partial evidence, illustrative analysis, community submission and insufficient evidence separately.
