The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people under the age of twenty five were referred to Prevent in each of the last ten years, broken down by sex.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The Home Office publishes annual information on the number of referrals to Prevent, with the latest published figures being found here: Individuals referred to and supported through the Prevent Programme, April 2023 to March 2024.

Table 8 within the data tables accompanying this publication provides the number of referrals, number of cases discussed at a Channel Panel, and the number of cases adopted by Channel, broken down by age group and sex.
