Respond to concerns
If settings have Prevent-related concerns, these should be discussed with the Eastern Region Counter-Terrorism Policing Team. The team will provide advice and guidance including about whether the setting should make a Prevent referral.

Prevent concern
If settings have Prevent-related concerns and feel a child is at risk of (or subject to) harm because of these issues, follow the guidance on our Report a concern about a child page.
Prevent referrals
Prevent referrals must be made using the Prevent referral form (PDF, 179KB).
We have worked with Counter Terrorism Policing to produce a Prevent referrals advice document and checklist (Word, 42KB).
For further support completing a Prevent referral form visit the DfE Making a referral to Prevent guidance.
People referred to Prevent may be considered at a Channel Panel meeting.
