Lincolnshire Prevent Update
Lincolnshire Prevent have shared the following statistics:
From all the counter-terrorism threats across the UK, 75% are Islamic terrorists and 25% are Extreme Right-Wing Terrorists (ERWT).
From all the counter-terrorism threats across the East Midlands, 60% are Islamic and 40% ERWT.
13% of those suspected to be involved in UK terrorism are under the age of 18 years.
45% of referrals to Prevent come from education.
In 2001 and 2020 the number of young people arrested in the UK for terrorist related offences was between 4 and 6%. This currently stands at 15% and is heavily linked to online activity.
The majority of these cases relate to ERW ideology.
Our role as a school is to prevent students being drawn into terrorism of any kind, at any level, and to challenge extremist ideas of all types.
