MAPPA

Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements.

Extract from guidance

The purpose of MAPPA is to help to reduce the re-offending behaviour of sexual and violent offenders in order to protect the public, including previous victims, from serious harm. It aims to do this by ensuring that all relevant agencies work together effectively to:

• Identify all relevant offenders;
• Complete comprehensive risk assessments that take advantage of coordinated information sharing across the agencies;
• Devise, implement and review robust Risk Management Plans; and
• Focus the available resources in a way which best protects the public from serious harm
