Individuals referred to and supported through the Prevent Programme, April 2024 to March 2025

Product Description

This release contains official statistics in development on individuals referred to and supported through the Prevent Programme due to concerns they were susceptible to radicalisation. Following initial screening and assessment, referrals may be passed to a multi-agency Channel panel where a risk of radicalisation exists. Chaired by local authorities, these panels determine the extent of an individual’s susceptibility to radicalisation and whether a tailored package of support is necessary and proportionate to address the risk.

This release uses a new joint data source, the Prevent Case Management Tracker (PCMT). The PCMT combines information on Prevent referrals and Channel cases, which were previously held in separate systems and required additional data matching to track an individual’s journey. The introduction of the PCMT provides access to new variables. As a result, this release includes additional data on consent, mental health and neurodiversity, and ethnicity. The type of concern categories have also been updated in the new PCMT to better describe the nature of concerns that are referred into Prevent, and are reflected in this release.
