The "duty to refer" applies to designated public bodies with effect from 1 October 2018.
Lincolnshire has pioneered a countywide solution based on the ALERT portal to enable public bodies as well as our existing referral partners to be able to refer relevant cases to the local authority. This may only be done with the applicant's consent.
