The Northumbria Police Prevent Team have a simple request for your help as we approach the long summer break.
Attached is a digital leaflet designed specifically for parents, guardians, family and friends. Northumbria Police are using it to encourage the public to access information about Prevent via various pathways including ACT EARLY
ACT EARLY is a website designed for the public, to inform and encourage them to make Prevent referrals if they have worries about their children, family or friends.
Northumbria Police are seeing a rise in Prevent referrals, particularly from schools, which is a positive thing as it means more professionals are recognising this crucial safeguarding concern and therefore more young vulnerable people are being diverted into positive pathways.
Northumbria Police are really keen to encourage parents, guardians etc. to learn about Prevent and to feel empowered to make referrals themselves.
Northumbria Police wish to spread the word so everyone can look out for the concerns that could signal a potentially dangerous pathway and therefore safeguard our young people.
