HOW MAPPA WORKS


MAPPA deal with the management of sexual and violent offenders convicted by a court of a relevant offence, or those whose behaviour poses a significant risk of harm to the public. After a comprehensive risk assessment, a system comprising three levels is used to make sure that those offenders who may pose the highest risk, receive the greatest degree of scrutiny and oversight:

 

Under MAPPA, there are three categories* of offender:

 

  • Category 1: Registered Sex Offenders - offenders required to comply with the

notification requirements (often referred to as registration) set out in the Sexual

Offenders Act 2003.

  • Category 2: Violent or other sex offenders who have committed

offences listed in Sch 15 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and sentenced to

imprisonment fro 12 months or more and offenders detained under Hospital

Orders.

  • Category 3: Other Offenders - offenders who do not fall into Categories 1

or 2 but, because of the offences committed by them (wherever they have been

committed), are considered to pose a risk of serious harm to the public.

 

There are three levels* of management:

 

  • Level 1: involves single agency management. Offenders are dealt with by Police or Probation alone – although practitioners in either Service will liaise individually. Level 1 offenders are usually assessed as having a low or medium probability of committing further serious harm but do not need formal joint agency working.

  • Level 2: referred to as local inter-agency management, where the active involvement of more than one agency is required to manage the offender. Most offenders assessed as high or very high risk of serious harm can be managed at Level 2 where the management plans do not require the attendance and commitment of resources at a senior level.

  • Level 3: Level 3 activity meetings are known in all Areas as Multi- Agency Public Protection Panels (or MAPPPs). The few cases referred to MAPPPs are those of offenders whose management is so problematic (including those that attract media attention) that multi-agency co-operation and oversight at a senior level is required, together with the authority to commit exceptional resources to strengthen the risk management plan.

 

* It is possible for an offender to move between both Categories and Levels over time.

However, movement between levels is more frequent than between categories, given

that risk is influenced by dynamic factors, such as accommodation, substance misuse,

employment, mental health and relationships.
