The Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) are designed to protect the public and manage the risk from violent, sexual and other dangerous offenders. This work is led by Probation, Police and Prison services who work with local housing authorities, social services, health services and a range of others who have a legal "duty to co-operate" with MAPPA. Together, they manage the risks posed by sexual and violent offenders living in the community.
MAPPA's role is to:
- Identify individuals who may pose a risk of harm
- Share relevant information about them
- Assess the nature and extent of that risk
- Find ways to manage that risk effectively
- Protect victims and potential victims.
Prior to their release from prison or the start of a Community Order, offenders are assessed by probation staff on the level of risk they pose to the public. If they are considered to be a high risk tothe public, they are subject to MAPPA.
