It is sometimes necessary for the us to record information about individuals to help us understand and manage risk. This information is often included in a warning marker which is recorded on a register, managed in accordance with our guidance on ‘Violent and Potentially Violent Persons Warning Markers – Their Use and Best Practice’.

The purpose of warning markers is not to stigmatise individuals, but to manage risk. Warning markers alert our staff and others acting on our behalf, to the potential risks of dealing with a particular individual and allows them to take all reasonable and practical measures to assess the risks and put in place the necessary control measures to protect them against any violence etc.
