Multi-agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA)

Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) and is the process by which the Police, Probation and Prison Services work together with other agencies to manage the risks posed by violent and sexual offenders living in the community

All offenders under the MAPPA process are assessed to establish the level of risk of harm they pose to the public and then risk management plans are worked out for each offender to manage those risks.

MAPPA allows agencies to work together effectively to implement the plans by sharing information and meeting regularly.
