36Assessment and support: local panels1

Each local authority must ensure that a panel of persons is in place for its area—

a

with the function of assessing the extent to which identified individuals are vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism, and

b

with the other functions mentioned in subsection (4).

2

Identified individual”, in relation to a panel, means an individual who is referred to the panel by a chief officer of police for an assessment of the kind mentioned in subsection (1)(a).

3

A chief officer of police may refer an individual to a panel only if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the individual is vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism.

4

The functions of a panel referred to in subsection (1)(b) are—

a

to prepare a plan in respect of identified individuals who the panel considers should be offered support for the purpose of reducing their vulnerability to being drawn into terrorism;

b

if the necessary consent is given, to make arrangements for support to be provided to those individuals in accordance with their support plan;

c

to keep under review the giving of support to an identified individual under a support plan;

d

to revise a support plan, or withdraw support under a plan, if at any time the panel considers it appropriate;

e

to carry out further assessments, after such periods as the panel considers appropriate, of an individual's vulnerability to being drawn into terrorism in cases where—

i

the necessary consent is refused or withdrawn to the giving of support under a support plan, or

ii

the panel has determined that support under a plan should be withdrawn;

f

to prepare a further support plan in such cases if the panel considers it appropriate.

5

A support plan must include the following information—

a

how, when and by whom a request for the necessary consent is to be made;

b

the nature of the support to be provided to the identified individual;

c

the persons who are to be responsible for providing it;

d

how and when such support is to be provided.

6

Where in the carrying out of its functions under this section a panel determines that support should not be given to an individual under a support plan, the panel—

a

must consider whether the individual ought to be referred to a provider of any health or social care services, and

b

if so, must make such arrangements as the panel considers appropriate for the purpose of referring the individual.

7

In exercising its functions under this section a panel must have regard to any guidance given by the Secretary of State about the exercise of those functions.

8

Before issuing guidance under subsection (7) the Secretary of State must (whether before or after this Act is passed) consult—

a

the Welsh Ministers so far as the guidance relates to panels in Wales;

b

the Scottish Ministers so far as the guidance relates to panels in Scotland;

c

any person whom the Secretary of State considers appropriate.
