This toolkit contains information about planning and delivering a response over the first days and weeks after an incident. Clearly, depending on the nature of the incident, this support could continue for months or years - however, you will be able to identify this need and plan for it within the initial weeks.
At some stage, the response to an incident is scaled down. While some individuals may still be receiving support, the majority of the community moves to a prevention and community cohesion approach. This could then utilise some of the tools made available through the London Needs You Alive toolkit, published in 2018.
When the response is scaled down, it will also be important to put a plan together to mobilise the response group again at any time that might be useful - for example, around anniversaries or during judicial proceedings.
