1. IntroductionMAPPA: a basic guideThis is a summary of MAPPA: please see the relevant chapters for details.1.1The Criminal Justice Act 2003 (“CJA 2003”) provides for the establishment of Multi-Agency PublicProtection Arrangements (“MAPPA”) in each of the 42 criminal justice areas in England and Wales. Theseare designed to protect the public, including previous victims of crime, from serious harm by sexual andviolent offenders. They require the local criminal justice agencies and other bodies dealing with offenders towork together in partnership in dealing with these offenders.1.2This Guidance on MAPPA has been issued by the Secretary of State for Justice under the CJA2003 in order to help the relevant agencies in dealing with MAPPA offenders. These agencies are requiredto have regard to the Guidance (so they need to demonstrate and record their reasons if they depart from it).1.3MAPPA is not a statutory body in itself but is a mechanism through which agencies can betterdischarge their statutory responsibilities and protect the public in a co-ordinated manner. Agencies at alltimes retain their full statutory responsibilities and obligations. They need to ensure that these are notcompromised by MAPPA. In particular, no agency should feel pressured to agree to a course of action whichthey consider is in conflict with their statutory obligations and wider responsibility for public protection.1.4The MAPPA agencies must be free from discrimination and committed to equal access to servicesfor all groups, particularly in relation to race, gender, gender identity, age, religious belief, sexuality, sexualorientation and disability. This means that all actions undertaken or recommended by the MAPPA agencies,and all policies and procedures, will be based on assessments of risks and needs. They will not draw onstereotypical assumptions about groups that will be discriminatory in outcome.1.5In undertaking their work, the MAPPA agencies will be sensitive and responsive to individualdifferences and needs. They will integrate this understanding into the delivery of their functions to ensurethat nobody is disadvantaged as a result of belonging to a specific social group. To assist in achieving this,each Responsible Authority must have plans in place and implemented to ensure that issues of diversity areaddressed.1.6The operation of MAPPA relies on component bodies working through an agreed process withMAPPA offenders, making provision as needed for particular groups, subject to regulation and review.These elements are briefly explored below and are developed in detail in the body of the guidance, in thechapters shown.Component bodiesResponsible Authority1.7The Responsible Authority is the primary agency for MAPPA. This is the police, prison andProbation Trust in each area, working together. The Responsible Authority has a duty to ensure that therisks posed by specified sexual and violent offenders are assessed and managed appropriately.Duty to co-operate agencies1.8Other bodies have a duty to co-operate with the Responsible Authority in this task. These duty to cooperate agencies (“DTC agencies”) will need to work with the Responsible Authority on particular aspects of1
an offender’s life (e.g. education, employment, housing, social care). The UK Border Agency became a DTCagency in 2011 – the first addition to the list since the scheme in the CJA 2003 was implemented.Strategic Management Board1.9The supervision of this work is carried out by the Strategic Management Board (“SMB”) in eacharea. It has a range of governance-related functions, including monitoring performance, ensuring antidiscriminatory practice, measuring compliance with the MAPPA Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”), andproducing the annual MAPPA report.Lay Advisers1.10The CJA 2003 also provides for an independent perspective on the work of these groups by meansof Lay Advisers, who are members of the public. The Secretary of State has a statutory duty to appoint twoLay Advisers to each area.ProcessIdentification and Notification1.11The first stages of the process are to identify offenders who may be liable to management underMAPPA as a consequence of their caution or conviction and sentence, and later to notify the MAPPA Coordinator of their impending release into the community, or the commencement of a community order orsuspended sentence, as appropriate. This responsibility falls to the agency that has the leading statutoryresponsibility for each offender. Offenders are placed into one of three MAPPA categories according to theiroffence and sentence.Levels of management1.12MAPPA offenders are managed at one of three levels according to the extent of agency involvementneeded and the number of different agencies involved. The great majority are managed at level 1 (ordinaryagency management). This involves the sharing of information but does not require multi-agency meetings.The others are managed at level 2 if an active multi-agency approach is required (MAPP meetings), and atlevel 3 if senior representatives of the relevant agencies with the authority to commit resources are alsoneeded.ViSOR1.13Storing and sharing information about offenders is essential to the multi-agency approach.Information is stored in a central database known as ViSOR, according to each Responsible Authority’sbusiness model.Information-sharing1.14The practice of information-sharing between agencies is governed by certain principles. Theguidance in this chapter draws on the Data Sharing Code of Practice issued in 2011 by the InformationCommissioner’s Office.Disclosure1.15There are arrangements for the disclosure of information to the public about individual offenders inparticular circumstances.Risk assessment1.16Once offenders have been identified as MAPPA offenders, the next stage is to assess the risk theypose. This could be the risk of reconviction, the risk of reoffending, or the risk of serious harm. A range ofassessment tools are available for this purpose.2
Risk Management Plan1.17Having assessed the risk that each offender poses, the MAPPA agencies need to manage that risk.This will entail the preparation of a detailed and robust Risk Management Plan.MAPP meetings1.18The vast majority of MAPPA offenders will be managed through the ordinary management of oneagency, although this will usually involve the sharing of information with other relevant agencies. Thestructural basis for the discussion of MAPPA offenders who need active inter-agency management,including their risk assessment and risk management, is the MAPP meeting. The Responsible Authorityagencies and the MAPPA Co-ordinator are permanent members of these meetings (although it may not bepossible for the MAPPA Co-ordinator to attend every meeting). DTC agencies are invited to attend for anyoffender in respect of whom they can provide additional support and management. The frequency ofmeetings depends on the level of management deemed appropriate for each offender. Finally, this chapteralso deals with the sharing and disclosure of MAPP meeting minutes.MAPPA document set1.19The MAPPA process works not only through the presence of the appropriate agencies but also onthe basis of proper documentation. It provides a consistent process for sharing information across Englandand Wales.Custody1.20Custodial establishments identify which offenders will be liable to MAPPA management whenreleased into the community. Planning for these cases needs to start at least 6 months before the releasedate. Obviously, the Prison Service plays a critical role in this process.Recall1.21This deals with recall to custody; the role of the Public Protection Casework Section in the OffenderManagement and Public Protection Group (“OMPPG”); and licence conditions.Transfer of MAPPA offenders1.22It may sometimes b
Guidance on level 1 meetings transferred to Level 1 Best Practice Guidance. Level 2 meetings and level 3 meetings recommended to take place a minimum of every 16 weeks and 8 weeks respectively. Required rank of police attendance at level 3 meetings changed to Superintendent.
Statistics for the MAPPA Annual Report. For this article however, the focus is on the process in place in York and North Yorkshire for auditing MAPPA cases, and the separate auditing of the management of MAPPA meetings. The very first audit of cases took place in our area in March 2004 and an annual audit has taken place every year since then.
