Notes
- People referred to Prevent, the programme for those at risk of being drawn into terrorism, as the Home Office counts them each financial year; a Channel panel discusses the referrals that may need support and adopts some as Channel cases.
- The Home Office says adoption figures from April 2024 are not comparable with those before, so they are shown as a series of their own. The part of the current financial year so far is left out.
