Muslim children were 44 times more likely than others to be referred to Channel

Evidence

For the two-year period March 2014 to March 2016, when the religion of persons under 18 referred to Channel was recorded, the total recorded as Muslim was nearly six times greater than the total recorded as belonging to any other religion. If we take population size into account, Muslim children were 44 times more likely to be referred compared to those belonging to any other religion. — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 418
