flag UK expects record 10,000 Prevent referrals in 2025, overwhelmed by rising extremism and mental health cases.

flag UK counter-terrorism officials expect a record 10,000 referrals to the Prevent programme in 2025, up from the usual 7,000–8,000, following the July 2024 Southport attack. flag Most recent referrals involve individuals with no fixed ideology or vulnerability to radicalization, alongside cases tied to extreme right-wing, violent, and Islamist extremism. flag Officials warn the system is overwhelmed, especially by mental health-related cases intersecting with extremism risks, and stress the need for greater resources and specialized support to prevent radicalization. flag Official data on the programme’s 2025 activity is expected in November.
