Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the recent report by the Open Society Justice Initiative, <i>Eroding Trust</i>, how many persons have lost their employment, or resigned their posts, following incorrect or unnecessary referrals to the Channel programme and other Prevent programmes and schemes, since those programmes and schemes began.

We are not aware of any individuals who have lost their employment, or resigned their posts due to any involvement with the Channel programme, beyond what is stated in the report mentioned.

Channel is a voluntary and confidential process which provides support to people who may be vulnerable to being drawn into any form of terrorism.
