Each year the Home Office conducts an annual prioritisation exercise led by the Home Office’s Homeland Security Analysis and Insight (HSAI) team to understand which Local Authorities are facing the highest threat of radicalisation. The model incorporates both quantitative and qualitative elements.

The prioritisation exercise is carried out in the autumn and funding is granted from 1 April for the following financial year. The exercise for the financial year 2025/26 took place in the Autumn of 2024 and funding was released via grants from 1 April 2025.
