Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what standard follow-up actions are undertaken after a referral to the Prevent strategy.
Prevent is about safeguarding and supporting individuals to stop them from being drawn into terrorism. For individuals at risk, a multi-agency Channel programme exists to provide support which is voluntary and confidential. All referrals are carefully assessed to determine whether support is required. Following assessment, where it is concluded that support is not required through the Channel programme, individuals may be signposted for alternative forms of support available through our partners, for example Social Services.
