What happens after a Prevent referral

When someone makes a referral, lots of agencies work together to offer support. This involves steps including:

• the police will carefully assess all referrals to see what type of support is needed
• the referral will be discussed with all relevant partners at a meeting called a Channel panel to decide if an intervention is needed. The person who has been referred, will be asked to give their consent (or through a parent or guardian if they are under the age of 18) before an intervention can take place
• if Channel intervention is needed, the panel will work with local partners to develop a support package
• the support package will be monitored and reviewed regularly by the Channel panel
