Project description
The UK Counter Terrorism network working with the National health Service have implemented a pilot of three mental health hubs.
The aim is to assess the value of mental health professionals working alongside counter terrorism police officers.
This is in relation to the management of individuals referred to the police with known or suspected mental disorders who may be vulnerable to radicalisation and extremism.
