Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many of her Department's approved intervention providers for the Channel Programme are based in (a) the North East, (b) the North West, (c) Yorkshire and the Humber, (d) the East Midlands, (e) the West Midlands, (f) the east of England, (g) London, (h) the South East and (i) the South West.

There are currently 16 intervention providers (IPs) undergoing assessment for approval to provide ideological mentoring within the Channel programme. The table below provides a breakdown of the regional location of where current IPs reside and are based. The majority of IPs work nationally and are frequently commissioned to work outside of their geographical location to undertake interventions. The number of IPs regionally can fluctuate over time, this is due in part to IPs relocating to other areas; new IPs being added to the register; and a change in personal circumstances that limits capacity to undertake interventions. We keep the list of IPs under review to ensure that regional distribution is appropriate to the number of Channel cases.
