## Description

As part of Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service \(HMPPS\) strategy, a national expansion programme for Approved Premises \(APs\) and Independent Approved Premises \(IAPs\) has been devised\. APs and IAP's are a critical part of HMPPS' commitment, through the National Probation Service, to ensure public protection by providing secure accommodation in the community and it meets the agency's commitment to reduce reoffending by supporting residents with resettlement planning in the community, including securing employment\. The aim is to better meet demand for bed spaces to support the management of men and women presenting high risk and complex needs who reside in these facilities\. This programme was initiated in response to the ministerial commitment made on 24th January 2019 "by building over 200 additional places in approved premises of which half will be delivered next year"\.
