Details

This policy sets out the mandatory requirements for the Probation Service and the Public Protection Group for all indeterminate sentenced offenders on licence.

The framework mandates the processes for:

• managing the frequency of reporting for all indeterminate sentenced offenders in the community
• applying for the suspension and re-imposition of supervision of all indeterminate sentenced offenders in the community
• the referral for consideration of licence termination by the Parole Board for those subject to indeterminate sentences of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) and Detention for Public Protection (DPP)
• automatic licence termination for those subject to indeterminate sentences of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) and Detention for Public Protection (DPP)

This policy replaces the managing parole eligible offenders on licence policy framework.
