The Home Office keeps the needs of people referred to Prevent under review. Over the past 3 years, this has included training for Prevent practitioners - including Intervention Providers and Channel panels - from the National Autistic Society to ensure that people with neurodiverse conditions are effectively supported throughout their engagement with Prevent.
Neurodiversity was also considered as part of the Prevent Duty Guidance Equality Impact Assessment, which was updated in September 2023.
