Mr. Ryan Henderson:

We have processed very few. In fact, in the past two years none has been applied for. I mentioned earlier how there is a tiering of approach. Within the notification requirements in Northern Ireland, there is a requirement to notify around any intention to travel abroad. That is the first tier and the layering of armour to try to prevent the offender from going abroad to offend against children. The first aspect is those conversations with their designated risk manager. They know a lot about them to try to discourage that travel abroad. They have to notify and only then when there is a serious concern risk would an application be made and that is subject to judicial scrutiny. As outlined by earlier contributors, it is only in extreme cases because those other parts of the tapestry of tools and tactics have prevented us needing to go down that route.
