“No Further Action” (NFA): what it generally means

“No Further Action” is commonly used to mean that, at that point, no charge/prosecution will follow from the investigation you were interviewed about.

Quick Answer: If your case is referred to the Crown Prosecution Service, the CPS applies the “Full Code Test” (evidential stage + public interest stage).[1]

What to do next

  • Ask for written confirmation of the outcome (if you have not received it).
  • If you have an ongoing investigation status (bail/RUI), take advice on what that status means for you.
