Answer
The breakdown of statistical data on the individuals referred to the Prevent Programme by their associated type of concern since the financial year 2016/17 to 2022/23, can be found in Table 6 (Type of Concern of those referred, discussed at a Channel panel and adopted as a Channel case, 2016/17 to 2022/23) of the latest published statistics which are available under the Home Office’s latest counter-terrorism statistical series: Individuals referred to Prevent: to March 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). Data on the individuals referred to Prevent by the extended list of type of concern under the main 10 high level categories before the financial year 2016/17 is not available due to changes in the categories available in the Police Case Management (PCM) data recording system as outlined in the user guide.
We have also included a summary of this data below in Table 1.
