LONDON—Intelligence on potential extremists will be passed to teachers, social workers, and council staff as part of a hardening of counterterrorism legislation in the UK.

The announcement comes one year after an attack by “homegrown” Islamic extremists who mowed down pedestrians on London Bridge and stabbed Saturday-night diners, killing eight in total on June 3, 2017.
