Dr. Charlotte Heath-Kelly has been extensively quoted in an article on The BMJ, titled "Is there any place for counterterrorism in the NHS?"

The article concerns Dr Heath-Kelly's Wellcome Trust funded research project, Counterterrorism in the NHS: Evaluating Prevent Duty Safeguarding in Midlands NHS Trusts.

Charlotte Heath-Kelly, associate professor of politics and international studies at the University of Warwick, describes Health WRAP as the “strangest training” she has ever encountered.

“It tries to impart this idea that you have a duty to report anything you find dangerous or suspect, but it doesn’t tell you how you know something is dangerous or suspect. It’s very vague and doesn’t give you any factors to look out for because the science isn’t there. There are vague statements about social exclusion and changes in behaviour, but that could be all teenagers ever,” she says.
