As a 'panel partner' of the Channel Duty, we follow the 'notice, check, share' approach advocated in the above guidance, passing on any concerns to the Prevent team if deemed necessary.  

Channel is a voluntary, multi-agency program in Lancashire designed to safeguard individuals vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism.

Referrals are typically handled through the Prevent team, with concerns sent via email to concern@lancashire.police.uk or by calling 0161 856 6345 or 0800 011 3764.

The process is supported by local authorities and police to provide tailored intervention.

• Process: Anyone can make a referral; once submitted, a multi-agency panel chaired by the local authority assesses the risk and determines if support is necessary.
