Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate he has made of the number of neurodiverse people referred to Prevent in the latest period for which data is available.

The Home Office does not hold information on the number of neurodiverse people referred to Prevent, as neurodiversity is not recorded on either the police or Home Office-owned Prevent databases.

A new Prevent case management system will be launched next year which will be able to capture data more accurately, including information relating to neurodiversity.
