Text Correction

Following the correction of this publication (Orofino 2024), additional anonymization measures were implemented to further protect the privacy and confidentiality of research participants, practitioners, and associated personnel. Revisions were made to Section 3.1 (Data Collection), Section 4.3 (Vulnerabilities), and the Acknowledgments section to remove or generalize temporal references, observational details, case-specific information, and potentially identifying affiliations.

In Section 3.1 (Data Collection), references to the timing and conditions of access to Channel panels were revised to reduce specificity. The original reference to Home Office guidance was amended to “late 2021,” and wording relating to authorization procedures was simplified. In addition, descriptions of observational attendance at Channel panel meetings were generalized from precise dates to a broader description of participation over “a three-month period in 2021.”

In Section 4.3 (Vulnerabilities), detailed descriptions of individual cases discussed during Channel panel meetings were replaced with aggregated and generalized descriptions of vulnerabilities identified across cases observed during the research. Specific references to participants’ ages, experiences of sexual abuse, school bullying, psychiatric referrals, schizophrenia-related symptoms, family bereavement, and special educational or developmental needs were removed in order to avoid the possibility of indirect identification. The revised text instead summarizes the broader categories of vulnerabilities observed, including adverse family experiences, mental health concerns, bullying, and complex family environments, while preserving the analytical conclusions of the discussion.

In the Acknowledgments section, references to identifiable individuals were removed. The revised acknowledgment retains only a general expression of gratitude to Prevent/Channel practitioners who contributed their time and support to the research.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. These corrections were approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
