Individuals referred to and supported through the Prevent Programme, April 2021 to March 2022

Question 1

Key results

Accepted Answer

In the year ending 31 March 2022, there were 6,406 referrals to Prevent. This is an increase of 30% compared to the year ending March 2021 (4,915). This increase is likely to have been driven by the associated impacts of lifting the public health restrictions that were in place to control the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

The Education sector made the highest number of referrals (2,305; 36%), followed by the Police (1,808; 28%). The year ending 31 March 2022 saw the highest proportion of referrals received from the Education sector since comparable data are available. This marks an increase compared to the previous reporting period where referrals from the Education sector were at their lowest proportion (1,221 of 4,915; 25%) since comparable data are available, and the only reporting period where Education referrals accounted for less than 30% of all referrals. The public health restrictions in place due to COVID-19, especially the closure of Education settings, likely impacted the data in both year ending March 2021 and year ending March 2022.

As in previous years, where gender was specified (6,403), most referrals were of males (5,725; 89%).

Of the referrals where age of the individual was known (6,393), those aged 15 to 20 again accounted for the largest proportion (1,902; 30%). However, those aged under 15 account for an increased proportion of referrals (1,829; 29%) compared with year ending March 2021, and those under 15 account for the largest proportion of cases that are discussed at a Channel panel (32%; 480 of 1,486) and adopted as a case (37%; 299 of 804).

The number of referrals discussed at a Channel panel (1,486, 23%) and adopted as a Channel case (804, 13%) increased when compared with year ending March 2021. However, the proportion of referrals being discussed at a Channel panel has decreased slightly (23% this year compared with 27% last year). The proportion of referrals that were adopted as a Channel case remained similar (13% in both years).

This year (ending March 2022), Home Office analysts have improved the way in which a referral’s type of concern is presented. Previously, referrals were grouped into one of 4 categories: ‘Islamist’, ‘Extreme Right Wing’, ‘Mixed, Unstable and Unclear (MUU)’ and ‘Other’. This year, the sub-categories that were aggregated into MUU in previous years are reported directly to provide a more granular view of types of concern.

The category ‘Vulnerability present but no ideology or CT risk’ accounted for the largest proportion of referrals (2,127; 33%) in the year ending March 2022. For the second year running, the number of referrals for Extreme Right-Wing radicalisation concerns (1,309; 20%) is greater than referrals for Islamist concerns (1,027; 16%). Of the 804 Channel cases, the most common were cases referred due to concerns regarding Extreme Right-Wing radicalisation (339; 42%), followed by those with concerns regarding Islamist radicalisation (156; 19%) and those with a Conflicted ideology (120; 15%).

Question 2

1.  Introduction

Accepted Answer

Prevent forms part of the Government’s wider counter-terrorism strategy, known as CONTEST. Prevent aims to safeguard people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. For more information, please see the following publications on the GOV.UK website: Prevent duty guidance, Channel duty guidance and 2018 CONTEST strategy.

1.1 Coverage of this release

This release contains Experimental Statistics on the number of individuals recorded as having been referred to and supported through the Prevent programme in England and Wales, from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. The statistics cover their journey from referral to adoption as a case, broken down by demographic statistics and geography.

Experimental Statistics are Official Statistics undergoing development. Work is underway to improve the level of consistency in recording Prevent referrals across different regions in England and Wales. More information about Experimental Statistics can be found on the UK Statistics Authority website. The Home Office aims to improve the quality of data recording and assurance procedures so that these statistics can be designated as National Statistics in future years. For example, Home Office analysts have been working with policy colleagues to develop further guidance for Channel Case Officers and update the training programme available to them. Please see the user guide for these statistics for further information.

More detailed tables relating to this release can be found in the accompanying data tables. This includes data for Prevent and Channel in the years ending March 2016 to March 2022.

1.2 Identification and referrals

If a member of the public, or someone working with the public, has a concern about a person they know who may be vulnerable to the risk of radicalisation, they can raise their concerns with their Local Authority safeguarding team or the police for an assessment.

Staff working in public-facing organisations may receive training to help identify people who may be vulnerable to the risk of radicalisation, and what to do about it. Local Authorities, schools, colleges, universities, health bodies, prisons, probation organisations and the police are subject to a statutory duty through the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 to include in their day-to-day work consideration of the need to safeguard people from being drawn into terrorism.

1.3 Initial assessment

The police screen all referrals to check that the individual is not already or should be part of a terrorism investigation, as these individuals are not appropriate for Channel support. Prevent referrals that may be appropriate for Channel are recorded on the Prevent Case Management Tracker (PCMT). Once this has taken place, the initial assessment may conclude that no further action is required. In other cases, a person’s vulnerability may be assessed as not linked to radicalisation and they may be referred on to another form of support. All Prevent referrals are confidential and do not result in a criminal record or any other form of sanction.

1.4 The Channel programme

The Channel programme in England and Wales is an initiative that provides a multi-agency approach to support people vulnerable to the risk of radicalisation. For those individuals where the police assess there is a risk of radicalisation, a Channel panel chaired by the Local Authority, and attended by other partners such as representatives from education and health services, will meet to discuss the referral. They will discuss the extent of the vulnerability, assess all the circumstances of the case, and decide whether to adopt the individual as a Channel case. Cases are adopted in order to further assess the vulnerability, or to provide a tailored package of support where necessary and proportionate to do so. A Channel panel may decide that a person’s vulnerabilities are not terrorism-related and will refer the person to other forms of support. Data on Channel cases is extracted from the Home Office owned Channel Management Information System (CMIS). Information shared among partners is strictly within the terms of the Data Protection Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The Home Office collects, processes and shares personal information to enable it to carry out its statutory functions as part of Channel. For further information on how personal data is stored and used for the Channel programme, please refer to the Channel Data Privacy Information Notice (DPIN).

The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 placed the Channel programme on a statutory footing and created a duty on each Local Authority in England and Wales to ensure there is a panel in place for its area. Statutory guidance for Channel panels was published in March 2015.

1.5 Providing support and leaving the programme

Participation in the Channel programme is confidential, and consent is obtained before Channel support is provided. Many types of support are available, addressing educational, vocational, mental health and other vulnerabilities. Ideological mentoring is common. Tailored support is provided based on the needs identified for an individual. The role of the Channel panel is to coordinate new activity through statutory partners and Channel-commissioned Intervention Providers (IPs), or oversee existing activity depending on what is most appropriate and proportionate for the case.

A Channel panel will, on a monthly basis, review the progress of an individual in the Channel programme. The panel decides a person will leave the Channel programme when there is no further risk of radicalisation. Support to address non-radicalisation-related concerns could continue in some cases but would be managed outside of the Channel programme.

The Local Authority or other providers may provide alternative forms of support to people who drop out of the Channel programme. In these circumstances, the police will manage any risk of terrorism they might present.

After an individual has left the Channel programme, their progress will be reviewed after 6 and 12 months. If the individual shows further radicalisation-related concerns, they can re-enter the Channel programme and receive further support.

Question 3

2.  People referred to the Prevent programme

Accepted Answer

This section presents statistics on the number of referrals to Prevent due to concerns that an individual is vulnerable to radicalisation. It includes the sector of referral and information on how the individuals referred were assessed and supported, including those who required no further action, a referral to another service or were reviewed by a Channel panel for support through the Channel programme.

The data presented in this release represents activity recorded by the police and Local Authority partners. Although quality assurance is undertaken to confirm these numbers, the statistics rely on recording of information and so the overall completeness and accuracy of reported totals cannot be guaranteed. Please see the user guide for further information.

Throughout this release, the number of referrals reported includes individuals who had been referred more than once during the year. This information is included as each referral may not contain the same information (for example, different sector of referral or type of concern) and may not have the same outcome (for example, signposted to statutory partners, discussed at a Channel panel). Including multiple referrals provides a more complete picture of all support recorded and provided through the Prevent programme in the year ending March 2022.

2.1 The referral process

In the year ending March 2022, there were 6,406 referrals to Prevent due to concerns that an individual was vulnerable to radicalisation. The Education sector made the most referrals (2,305; 36%), followed by the Police (1,808; 28%). Compared with year ending March 2021, the proportion of referrals made by the Education sector increased whilst the proportion of referrals made by the Police decreased.

The year ending 31 March 2022 saw the highest proportion of referrals received from the Education sector since comparable data are available. This marks an increase compared to year ending March 2021, where referrals from the Education sector were at their lowest proportion (1,221 of 4,915; 25%) since comparable data are available, and the only reporting period where Education referrals accounted for less than 30% of all referrals. The public health restrictions in place during the COVID-19 pandemic likely contributed to the decreased proportion of Education referrals in the previous reporting period. The Education sector has accounted for 32% of all referrals since the year ending March 2016.

Figure 2: Sector of referral and subsequent journey, year ending March 2022

Source: Home Office, Individuals referred to and supported through the Prevent programme, England and Wales, April 2021 to March 2022. Table 2

Notes:

HM Prison and Probation Service.
‘Other’ includes employment, military and government (including Home Office Immigration Enforcement & HMRC), for example.
Referrals received that ‘required no further action’ include but are not limited to: individuals already receiving support through Prevent, those presenting a higher risk than can be managed by Prevent, and those who were found to have no vulnerabilities at initial assessment.
Individuals can be signposted after a Channel case has been closed to ensure that they continue to receive support for any non-radicalisation-related vulnerabilities.
Data quality checks found that in some cases, Channel Case Officers are recording that an individual has been ‘signposted to a service’ following case closure, when notifying the source of referral to re-refer if concerns are raised again in future. Therefore, the statistics on the number of individuals referred to alternative services may include services providing new support following case closure, and services continuing to support the individual following their exit from the Prevent programme.
The sum of ‘Required no further action’, ‘Signposted to other services’, and ‘discussed at a Channel panel’ do not equal the total number of Prevent referrals, due to 72 open cases at the information gathering stage at the point of data confirmation (18 December 2022). Individuals can be signposted to statutory partners to address wider vulnerabilities depending on what the panel assess as being necessary and proportionate.
Percentages may not add up to 100 due to rounding.

Of the 6,406 referrals to Prevent in the year ending March 2022:

76% (4,848) were deemed not suitable for Channel consideration and exited the process prior to a Channel panel discussion; of which the majority were signposted to other services (3,754; 77%)
23% (1,486) were considered for Channel support
ultimately, 13% (804) were adopted as a Channel case^{[footnote 1]}

Of the 3,754 referrals signposted to alternative services for support, they were most commonly directed to the Education sector (992; 26%), closely followed by the Health sector (796; 21%).

Of the 1,486 referrals deemed suitable through preliminary assessment to be discussed at a Channel panel in the year ending March 2022:

682 (46%) referrals were not adopted as a Channel case; of these, the majority (485; 71%) were signposted to alternative services^{[footnote 2]} where the panel deemed the individuals to have non-radicalisation-related vulnerabilities; those not adopted and not signposted at this stage may have either been found to have no vulnerabilities, have appropriate support already in place, or they may not have consented to support
804 (54%) referrals were adopted as a Channel case, of which most (642; 80%) of the individuals concerned have now left the Channel process; 162 (20%) remained a Channel case at time of data confirmation (January 2023)

Of the 642 referrals adopted as a Channel case in the year ending March 2022, that have subsequently closed, 573 (89%) of the individuals concerned exited with no further radicalisation concerns. This can include individuals:

who had a vulnerability to radicalisation addressed by a Channel-commissioned Intervention Provider
for whom the Channel panel oversaw existing support already in place through statutory partners
who were adopted as a Channel case to further assess whether a vulnerability to radicalisation was present and determine whether additional support was needed

The remaining 69 referrals (11%) that were adopted as a case and have now closed, concerned individuals who either withdrew from the Channel programme or were withdrawn because it was no longer deemed appropriate, although in some cases support from other services may still be in place. Any terrorism risk that might be present is managed by the police.

2.2 Referrals over time

In the year ending March 2022, there were 6,406 referrals to Prevent, a 30% increase in comparison with the year ending March 2021 (4,915). This increase is likely to have been driven by the associated impacts of lifting the public health restrictions that were in place to control the spread of COVID-19. Quarter 3 (October to December) of 2021 to 2022 saw the highest number of referrals (1,895; 30%), whereas Quarter 2 (July to September, 2021) saw the lowest number of referrals (1,405; 22%).

There was a 12% increase in the number of referrals deemed suitable through a preliminary assessment to be discussed at a Channel panel compared with the year ending March 2021 (1,486 up from 1,325). However, the proportion of referrals discussed at a Channel panel decreased (23%, down from 27%).

In the year ending March 2022, 804 referrals were adopted as a Channel case, 145 more cases compared with the 659 referrals adopted as a case in the year ending March 2021. The proportion of referrals adopted as a Channel case remained similar (13% in both years).

Question 4

3.  Demographics

Accepted Answer

This section reports statistics on the individuals referred to Prevent due to concerns about their vulnerability to the risk of radicalisation, by demographics. Demographics (including age and gender) are reported according to their progression through Prevent as well as the type of concern raised.

3.1 Age

In the year ending March 2022, individuals aged 15 to 20 again accounted for the largest proportion of the 6,393 referrals to Prevent (1,902; 30%) where age was known (Figure 4). This is in line with the year ending March 2021, where (1,398; 29%) of referrals where age was known, were in the 15 to 20 age group. Individuals aged under 15 accounted for the second largest proportion of referrals (1,829; 29%) where age was known, followed by individuals aged between 21 and 30 (1,046; 16%).

As individuals moved through the programme, a slightly larger proportion of the individuals were aged under 15, accounting for just under a third of those discussed at a Channel panel (480; 32%) and adopted as a Channel case (299; 37%).

This marks a slight change in comparison with previous data since the year ending March 2016, where individuals aged 15 to 20 have consistently accounted for the most referrals, discussions at panel and Channel cases.

Source: Home Office, Individuals referred to and supported through the Prevent programme, England and Wales, April 2021 to March 2022. Table 4

3.2 Age by sector of referral

The median age is the age of the middle person, when sorted from youngest to oldest. Using the median provides a good indication of the age of the ‘typical’ person referred by each sector. The median age of all referrals was 17 years.

Reflecting the demographic composition of the institution, individuals referred from the Education sector had the youngest median age (14 years of age). This is a slight decrease compared with the year ending March 2021 where the median age of referrals from the Education sector was 15 years of age. Referrals from HMPPS had the oldest median age (30 years). Median ages for the other sectors of referral were as follows: Local Authority (17 years), Friends & Family (20 years), Other (26 years), Police (26 years), Health (27 years) and the Community (28 years).

3.3 Gender

In this report, we refer to gender rather than sex of people stopped and searched. ‘Sex’ can be considered to refer to whether someone is male or female based on their physiology, with ‘gender’ representing a social construct or sense of self that takes a wider range of forms. However, it is likely that recording includes a mixture of physiological and personal identity.

In the year ending March 2022, of the 6,403 referrals where gender was specified, the majority were for males (5,725; 89%). Males also accounted for the majority of the referrals discussed at a Channel panel (1,367 of 1,486; 92%) and those adopted as a Channel case (746 of 804; 94%).

The proportion of males at each stage of the Prevent programme has been increasing since the year ending March 2016, the earliest for which comparable data are available. However the largest increase has been in the proportion of males adopted as a Channel case. In the year ending March 2016, 85% (321 of 378) of referrals adopted as a Channel case were for males, compared to 93% (746 of 804) in the year ending March 2022.

3.4 Type of concern

The type of concern presented is based upon information provided by the referrer. For cases that progress further into the programme, officers may update this based upon new information that comes to light as they gather further information to help them provide support tailored to the individual’s need. Therefore, the statistics regarding the ‘type of concern’ raised, are likely to include a mix of type of concern raised by original referrer and type of concern that the Channel Case Officers believe the individual is presenting. The type of concern is also recorded slightly differently within the 2 data recording systems used to manage Prevent referrals (PCMT) and subsequent Channel cases (CMIS).

This year, Home Office analysts have improved the way in which a referral’s type of concern is presented. Previously, referrals were grouped into one of 4 categories: ‘Islamist’, ‘Extreme Right Wing’, ‘Mixed, Unstable and Unclear (MUU)’ and ‘Other’. This year, the sub-categories that were aggregated into MUU in previous years are reported directly to provide a more granular view of a types of concern. A more detailed explanation of this change can be found in the user guide.

In the year ending March 2022, of the 6,406 referrals to Prevent, 33% (2,127) were for individuals with a vulnerability present but no ideology or CT risk. Referrals due to concerns regarding Extreme Right-Wing radicalisation (1,309; 20%) were the second highest, followed by referrals regarding Islamist radicalisation (1,027; 16%). 2% (154) of referrals were due to concerns regarding school massacres, and 1% (77) of concerns were incel-related.

Referrals for individuals with a vulnerability present but no ideology or CT risk have increased year-on-year since 2019 to 2020, when it first became available as type of concern category on PCMT. This type of concern accounts for 25% (1,594) of referrals in 2019 to 2020, 33% (1,600) of referrals in 2020 to 2021, and 33% (2,127) of referrals in 2021 to 2022.

There were 80 more referrals made for Extreme Right-Wing concerns this year (1,309) when compared to year ending March 2021 (1,229). However, referrals made due to Extreme Right-Wing concerns have decreased as a proportion of overall referrals (20% vs 25%). For the second year running, the number of referrals for Extreme Right-Wing radicalisation concerns is greater than Islamist referrals.

There were 50 fewer referrals (1,027) for Islamist concerns in the year ending 2022 when compared to the year ending March 2021. With an increase in overall referrals, Islamist concerns therefore account for a reduced proportion of all referrals (16%) when compared with last year (22%). The number of referrals for this type of concern has decreased by 72% since the year ending March 2017 (3,706 referrals).

There were 100 referrals (2%) due to concerns related to Other types of radicalisation. Although numbers were comparatively low, this includes concerns regarding international radicalisation groups, left-wing radicalisation and Northern Ireland-related extremism, for example.

Figure 5: Prevent referrals by type of concern, years ending March 2017 to 2022

Source: Home Office, Individuals referred to and supported through the Prevent programme, England and Wales, April 2021 to March 2022. Table 6

Notes:

The type of concern recorded may be updated at any point throughout the process (including at case closure) based upon new information that comes to light as officers gather further information to help them provide support tailored to the individual’s need. Therefore, the statistics regarding the ‘type of concern’ raised, are likely to include a mix of type of concern raised at referral, type of concern that the Channel Case Officers believe the individual is presenting, or type of concern attributed retrospectively by the case officers once further information gathering has been completed.
The types of concern that were previously aggregated into ‘MUU’ are shown in italics.

A total of 804 referrals were adopted as a Channel case and for the fourth consecutive year, there were more adopted cases for individuals referred for concerns related to Extreme Right-Wing radicalisation (339; 42%) compared to individuals with concerns related to Islamist radicalisation (156; 19%). The number of referrals adopted as a Channel case for concerns related to Extreme Right-Wing radicalisation (339) increased by 9% compared with the year ending March 2021 (310), continuing the upward trend since the year ending March 2017. However, as a proportion of total referrals adopted as a Channel case, referrals due to concerns relating to Extreme Right-Wing radicalisation (339; 42%) decreased compared with the year ending March 2021 (310, 47%).

The number of referrals adopted as a Channel case for Islamist radicalisation (156) concerns increased by 5% compared with the year ending March 2021 (148). Since the year ending March 2017, the number of referrals adopted as a Channel case following a referral for Islamist radicalisation concerns has decreased by 17% (187 in the year ending March 2017).

Individuals with conflicted concerns accounted for 15% (120) of referrals that were adopted as a Channel case. There were 101 referrals adopted as a Channel case for individuals with a vulnerability present but no CT risk or ideology (13%), 38 for school massacre concerns (5%) and 23 for incel-related concerns (3%).

3.5 Proportions of adoption as a case by type of concern

Overall, the proportion of referrals discussed at a Channel panel being adopted as a case increased slightly from the year ending March 2021; 54% (804 of 1,486) of all referrals discussed went on to be adopted in the year ending March 2022. Referrals discussed at a Channel panel for individuals with incel-related concerns were the most likely to be adopted as a case (68%; 23 of 34). Referrals discussed at a Channel panel for individuals with school massacre concerns were the second most likely to be adopted as a case (62%; 38 of 61). 57% (339 of 599) of referrals discussed at a Channel panel for individuals with Extreme Right-wing concerns went on to be adopted as a case; 53% (156 of 292) of those discussed at a Channel panel for Islamist concerns went on to be adopted as a case.

3.6 Age by type of concern

For 6 of 9 categories of radicalisation concern recorded in the year ending March 2022, where age was known, those aged between 15 and 20 accounted for the largest proportion of those referred. Those under 15 accounted for 2 of 9 categories (Extreme Right-Wing and School Massacre), and those aged 31 to 40 accounted for one category (High CT risk but no ideology present).

3.7 Gender by type of concern

For all types of radicalisation concern, the proportion of males referred, discussed at a Channel panel and adopted as a Channel case was higher than females. In referrals, panel discussions and cases for concerns with High CT risk but no ideology present, males accounted for 100% (5 of 5) of referrals. 99% (76 of 77) of referrals for incel-related concerns involved males, and 94% (1,230 of 1,309) of referrals for Extreme Right-Wing concerns were male. In comparison, 85% (875 of 1,027) of referrals for concerns related to Islamist radicalisation involved males; only referrals for No risk, vulnerability or ideology present had a lower proportion of males (85%; 497 of 587). Females accounted for a slightly increased proportion of cases adopted for Islamist concerns (17%; 26 of 156) compared to referrals for Islamist concerns (14%; 148 of 1,027).

Question 5

4.  Regional trends

Accepted Answer

This section reports regional trends in referrals for individuals due to concerns regarding their vulnerability to the risk of radicalisation. Geographic regions are reported according to their progression through the Prevent programme and the type of concern raised. The geographic regions presented are those covered by Regional Prevent Coordinators (RPCs) and therefore within this statistical collection, the North East also covers Yorkshire and the Humber.

In the year ending March 2022, the region that received the highest number of referrals per million population was again the East Midlands (138.9; up from 108.9 in the year ending March 2021). The North East region follows in second with 130.8 referrals per million population (up from 107.3). The East region had the lowest number of referrals per million population (64.7; down from 71.3). The national average for referrals in the year ending March 2022 is 107.5 per million population.

The region that had the highest number of referrals discussed at a panel per million population was the North West (44.1). The South East region had the second highest number of referrals discussed at a panel per million population (28.6), and the North East is third (27.6).

The region that had the highest number of referrals adopted as a Channel case per million population was the North West (19.5), followed by the North East (15.7) and the South East (14.4). The West Midlands falls out of the top 3 regions receiving the highest number of Channel cases per million population for the first time in 3 years.

Please see Table 7 of the accompanying data tables for more detailed breakdowns.
