Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements

Annual Report 2002-3
FOREWORD
By Paul Goggins, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Community and Custodial provision in the
Home Office

As the recently appointed Minister with responsibility for the MAPPA, I am pleased to introduce
this, the second, annual MAPPA report. It is clear that in the last year (2002/3) the multi-agency
public protection arrangements (the MAPPA) continued to play an important role in what
remains one of this government’s highest priorities – the protection of the public from dangerous
offenders.

As someone with many years experience of working in the field of child protection, I am
particularly impressed by the important contribution the MAPPA are making to strengthen
collaboration between agencies at a local level where the focus is on the dangerous offender.
These improvements must, however, impact on the protection of children. As the tragic death of
Victoria Climbie showed, an effective multi-agency partnership is crucial and the MAPPA are an
important element.

To ensure greater consistency in the MAPPA across the 42 Areas of England and Wales, and to
prepare for the implementation of measures contained in the Criminal Justice Bill, we published
the MAPPA Guidance in April. Building on good practice, that Guidance clarified the structure of
the operational arrangements as well as the importance of formal review and monitoring – of
which this annual report is a vital part. The Criminal Justice Bill will strengthen the MAPPA in
two ways. First, it will make the involvement of other agencies part of the statutory framework.
Second, it will introduce the involvement of lay people those unconnected with day-to-day
operation of the MAPPA – in reviewing and monitoring the MAPPA. Annual reports and this new
lay involvement show the Government’s commitment to explaining how the often sensitive and
complex work of public protection is undertaken.

The Government is also strengthening the protection of the public with other measures in the
Criminal Justice Bill. They include new sentences for dangerous offenders to prevent their
release if they continue to be dangerous. Additionally, the Sexual Offences Bill will tighten up
sex offender registration, introduce a new offence of ‘grooming’, and enable sex offender orders
to be imposed on violent offenders who pose a risk of causing serious sexual harm – thereby
extending sex offender registration to them.

I commend this report to you and congratulate all the agencies and individuals who have
contributed to the achievement of the MAPPA locally in your local Area.

Paul Goggins
The National Picture
This section of the report draws attention to wider context of the operation and development
of the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (the MAPPA).

The most important work undertaken within the MAPPA is done locally, led by the police and
probation – who act jointly as the ‘Responsible Authority’ in your Area – and in each of the 42
Areas of England and Wales. The experience and good practice upon which this work is
based began in the 1990s – most significantly as a result of the closer working relationship
required by the Sex Offender Act (1997). The Criminal Justice and Courts Services Act
(2000) formalised that relationship and built on the existing experience by requiring the police
and probation services to establish arrangements (the MAPPA) for assessing and managing
the risks posed by sexual and violent offenders. The Act also required the Responsible
Authority to publish an annual report on the operation of those arrangements. This report,
covering April 2002 to March 2003, is the second annual report.

The importance of partnership

Key to the development of the MAPPA in the past year has been the closer involvement of
other agencies, such as housing, health and social services, working alongside police and
probation. The truly multi-agency nature of the MAPPA and the collaboration which underpins
it is to be strengthened further by the Criminal Justice Bill. The Bill will place a ‘duty to co-
operate’ on a wide range of organisations including local health authorities and trusts; housing
authorities and registered social landlords; social services departments; Job centres; Youth
Offending Teams; and local education authorities. In addition, the Prison Service will join the
police and probation services and become part of the MAPPA ‘Responsible Authority’.

Supporting and co-ordinating the development of the MAPPA throughout the 42 Areas of
England and Wales, is the National Probation Directorate’s Public Protection Unit (PPU). This
Unit acts as a central point for advice and, increasingly, involvement in the management of
difficult cases. These include, for example, UK citizens who have committed serious offences
abroad and return to this country without anywhere to live. The Unit is also able to provide
financial support when the risk management plans make exceptional demands upon local
resources.

Involving the public

MAPPA developments in the next 18 months will also include the appointment by the Home
Secretary of two ‘lay advisers’ to each Area. The eight Areas of England and Wales which
have been piloting these arrangements since January (Cumbria, Greater Manchester,
Durham, South Wales, Dorset, Hampshire, Surrey and West Midlands) report that they add
real value. Lay advisers will contribute to the review and monitoring of the MAPPA which is
undertaken by each Area’s Strategic Management Board – the work of which you can read
more in this report.
The purpose of appointing ‘lay advisers’ is to ensure that communities understand more of
what is done to protect them and that those involved professionally with the MAPPA are
aware of the views of the community. The lay advisers will not ‘represent’ the community in
the way, for example, that local councillors do, nor will they be involved in operational
decision-making. And, given the sensitivity of much of what the MAPPA does, especially with
the few offenders who pose a very high risk of serious harm to the public, it is not practicable
for the general public to be involved. Lay advisers will, however, ensure an appropriate and a
practical level of community involvement.

MAPPA Offenders

This year the annual report provides a more detailed breakdown of the number of sexual and
violent offenders who are covered by the MAPPA in your Area. As last year, the figures include
the number of registered sex offenders. Because sex offender registration is for a minimum of
5 years (and generally for much longer) the figures are cumulative. This is why they have
increased – by 16 per cent in England and Wales. Only a very small proportion (about six per
cent throughout England and Wales) are considered to pose such a high risk or management
difficulty that they are referred to the highest level of the MAPPA – the Multi-Agency Public
Protection Panels (the MAPPP).

Figures alone do not, of course, tell the whole story. The anonymised case studies illustrate the
practical work of the MAPPA, and demonstrate the preventive action which can be taken. Prior
to the MAPPA, action of this kind was mainly taken by one agency alone, with the effect that on
occasion offenders’ behaviour which might have triggered preventative action went unnoticed.
The multi-agency approach of the MAPPA helps ensure that if an offender does breach the
condition of the licence under which they were released from prison or a court order prohibiting
certain activities, then action to enforce the condition or order and protect the public can be
taken more swiftly.

If you are interested in reading the reports of other Areas, they will be published on the National
Probation Service’s website www.probation.homeoffice.gov.uk (under the public protection
section) with all of them being available once the last Area has published its annual report in
September.
1. Area Summary

There is a history of close working and collaboration between Police and Probation in Devon
and Cornwall. The former Probation Services of Devon and Cornwall were amalgamated in April
2001, alongside the introduction of the National Probation Service. This is a large geographical
area, which consists of four Probation divisions, broadly consistent with the police Basic
Command Units.

Formal arrangements in Devon and Cornwall began in response to the Sex Offenders Act 1997,
when Police and Probation began to make joint arrangements for the assessment of registered
sex offenders. Following the implementation of the Criminal Justice and Courts Services Act,
2000, multi-agency collaboration has been strengthened, with significant developments
during the past year, which include:

• Full agreement to establish during 2003 four Police/Probation ‘Public Protection’ Teams.

• The joint appointment of a ‘MAPPP Registrar’, at middle manager level, to chair all meetings
on the ‘critical few’ offenders, oversee monitoring and quality control and management,
ensure consistency of practice and advise on policy and practice developments. This post is
managed by a probation senior manager and based at police headquarters.

• The clarification and rationalisation of risk registration, ensuring that all offenders are
managed according to their assessed level of risk of harm and avoiding ‘over-registration’.

• Specific coaching and training for probation and police staff – to be followed by further multi-
agency training.

• Revision of the Devon & Cornwall Probation Area public protection procedures.

• Revision of the Devon & Cornwall MAPPP protocol to include a wider range of signatories
(currently in process).

• Provision of a dedicated sergeant responsible for development of policies and practices

relating to the management of dangerous offenders and four additional full-time constables
{one per Basic Command Unit} directly responsible for the management of high risk of harm
offenders within Devon & Cornwall Police Authority. {Eight Constables in total}

This report will provide further details of arrangements made in Devon and Cornwall and give
contact points for any additional enquiries including agencies other than Police and Probation.
2. WHO ARE WE?
Police and Probation staff take a
lead in the operation of MAPP
arrangements in Devon and
Cornwall but they cannot achieve
effective management of high risk of
harm offenders without co-operation
and joint working arrangements with
other agencies. These agencies
include social services, health,
housing, youth offending teams,
prisons and others. From a
management board, which oversees
MAPPA and holds staff accountable
for their effective implementation, to
the operation of local multi-agency
panels, effective communication and
joint planning and management are
central to effectiveness.
Devon and Cornwall Constabulary
is committed to public protection,
particularly of children and the most
vulnerable. The Constabulary
regards protecting the public from
violent and sexual offenders as a
priority and recognises that public
protection work requires the
establishment of practical and
effective co-operative measures
amongst agencies.
The Constabulary aim for 2003/2004
is:
“Working in partnership to bring
about safer communities, reduce
disorder, crime and the fear of crime
and contribute to the delivery of
justice in a way which secures and
maintains public confidence.”
Whilst some offenders can be
effectively managed by the actions
of one agency alone, all agencies
need the co-operation of others to
discharge their public protection
duties effectively. Today’s police
service is founded on the principle
that the prevention and detection of
crime is central to its purpose.
Development of effective
partnerships is pivotal to how these
principles are achieved. To fight
crime effectively, resources have
been targeted at the most active
offenders as well as the most
serious offenders in our
communities.
Against this backdrop of “intelligence
led policing” the Sex Offenders Act
1997 was introduced, requiring
certain convicted sex offenders to
register with their local police. For
the first time, Police were notified of
sex offenders in the community,
some of whom pose a high risk of
further offending. It was therefore
vital that an understanding of risk
assessment and management was
developed, to target limited
resources towards the highest risk
offenders. This has resulted in
increasing contact between
Probation, Housing, Health and
Social Services, formalised through
the MAPPA.
The Constabulary employs specialist
staff, who work closely with other
agencies, particularly the Probation
Service, to assess and manage high
risk of harm offenders.
Devon and Cornwall Probation
Area is part of the National
Probation Service and as such it
regards protection of the public as its
highest priority. In Devon and
Cornwall, specialist Probation staff
are trained and experienced in the
assessment and management of
offenders who pose a risk of harm to
the public. Staff undertaking these
roles are based in each of the four
divisions; they work primarily with
offenders sentenced to
imprisonment, both during their
sentences and on release, although
they sometimes manage potentially
dangerous offenders on community
sentences. The Probation Area also
employs staff who are specially
trained to deliver offending
programmes to sex offenders,
domestic violence offenders and
other violent offenders. All divisions
have working arrangements with
other agencies and close working
practices with the police are well
established and subject to further
development, in the form of
police/probation teams at local level.
Local middle managers responsible
for resettlement work line manage
the probation staff, chair and
manage the multi-agency
conferencing process with the
Police, review cases and oversee
local registers of offenders assessed
as posing a risk of harm to the
public.
There are two approved premises
in Devon and Cornwall, where high
risk of harm offenders can be
accommodated and managed within
a structured regime, with regular
monitoring and surveillance.
There are three prisons in Devon,
Dartmoor, Channings Wood and
Exeter. Probation and prison staff
within these establishments work
together with Police, Probation and
others in the community, to plan for
the release of offenders under
conditions which address the risks
they pose to the public. Prison
based staff provide reports and other
information, sometimes attend multi-
agency meetings and ensure that
offenders are clear before release
about any licence conditions to
which they may be subject.
As the Devon and Cornwall area is
very large and agencies such as
Social Services, Health, Housing
and voluntary agencies have
boundaries which are not
necessarily consistent with Police
and Probation, it is not possible to
mention here all the agencies
involved in local partnerships. Some
examples are:
Health Service staff provide a range
of services, including community
mental health, psychiatric and
forensic assessments. Local
forensic psychologists provide
assessment and treatment packages
for offenders where appropriate.
Health professionals attend multi-
agency meetings and contribute to
assessments and supervision plans.
Social Services Departments in
Devon and Cornwall have a statutory
duty to provide for the protection of
children and vulnerable adults. Their
representatives contribute to the
multi-agency assessment and
management process in all divisions,
attending MAPPP meetings,
providing written and verbal reports
where appropriate and working
closely with all relevant agencies in
the implementation of supervision
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
3. WHAT DO WE DO?
In Devon and Cornwall, all offenders
falling under the MAPP
arrangements are assessed to
determine the levels of risk they
pose to the public. This assessment
is carried out primarily by staff from
the probation area and the police,
sometimes jointly. Validated
methods of assessment are used
alongside professional judgement to
determine those offenders who form
part of the “critical few” seen as
posing a very high risk of harm and
those who, although not in the
highest category, still pose a high
risk of causing harm to the public.
Once assessed, offenders in these
two categories are subject to risk
management, through multi-agency
arrangements. Initial meetings are
held to share information and agree
upon a clear plan of action, which
determines the roles of all relevant
agencies. A specific plan is defined,
with clear actions and time-scales
and a date is set for reviewing
progress and amending the plan.
plans. Recent joint Inspectorate
reports and the Laming report of the
Victoria Climbié Inquiry have re-
emphasised the priority which must
be given to the assessment and
management of risks to children by
all agencies. Work is under way
through Area Child Protection
Committees and through individual
agency mechanisms, to review and
improve the measures in place to
protect children. This is a priority for
agencies involved in the MAPP
arrangements and work is in hand to
strengthen the links between the
Strategic Management Board for
MAPPs and ACPCs, with a view to
improving operational effectiveness.
The purpose of these panels is to
make and implement decisions,
based upon a comprehensive review
of the available evidence about an
offender’s patterns of behaviour,
offending history, factors which
increase and decrease risk and
current circumstances. In the light of
this information, a plan can be
devised, which aims to address the
factors which contribue to offending,
encourages non-criminal behaviour
and provides maximum protection for
former and potential victims.
All offenders on community orders or
post-release licences are subject to
rigorous reporting requirements,
enshrined in National Standards. In
some cases, contact is well beyond
that laid down as a minimum under
the standards. Many offenders are
required to attend nationally
accredited programmes, designed to
address their specific offending
behaviour. These include an
intensive supervision package for
sexual offenders, which involves a
combination of group and individual
As part of the arrangements to
manage risk to children and
vulverable adults, a member of
Devon Social Services works within
the Police Intelligence Centre. Her
role is to facilitate a cross flow of
relevant information between the
agencies.
The NSPCC has a partnership
agreement with Devon and Cornwall
Probation Area. This partnership
covers the provision of sex offender
treatment groupwork, staff training
and consultation and appropriate
contribution to the MAPPP process.
sessions aimed at challenging
specific behaviour, raising
awareness of the serious, long-term
harm such offending causes and
preventing relapse. Other
programmes specifically address
aggression and violence and
substance misuse. Some offenders
pose such a high risk, they are
assessed as unsuitable for standard
programmes; these offenders will be
subject to monitoring and
surveillance by police, probation and
other agencies. They may be
accommodated in approved
premises designed to manage such
offenders and they are sometimes
subject to electronic monitoring.
All high risk of harm offenders are
subject to rigorous enforcement of
their orders or licences. Minimum
requirements for enforcement are
laid down by national standards but
they are often exceeded where
offenders pose a risk to the public.
Offenders on post release licence
will be recalled to prison if their
behaviour gives cause for concern or
they fail to comply with all the
conditions of their licences
During 2002/2003, a decision was
made to create specialist teams in
Devon and Cornwall, with the
specific purpose of managing high
risk of harm offenders. We are
currently in the process of
establishing these teams in all four
probation divisions/police areas in
Devon and Cornwall. The teams will
consist of probation officers working
alongside police dangerous offender
officers, formalising pre-existing
working practices. Multi-agency risk
management panels (MAPPP and
RAMP) are always attended by
police and probation representatives
and primarily chaired by probation
middle managers. Other members
of these panels include social
services, housing, prison
representatives and mental health
professionals, although this list is not
exhaustive. Where an offender is
assessed as one of the “critical few”,
very high risk of harm offenders, the
panel will always be attended by a
probation senior manager; senior
managers from other agencies may
also attend.
Case Examples
a) A high risk sex offender, who was
serving a sentence of
imprisonment for assault, was
assessed though the MAPPP
process. Analysis of relevant
information, including this man’s
behaviour in prison, indicated that
he would pose a risk to women
on release. This man would not
be subject to any probation
supervision licence following his
release from custody. As a result
of the MAPPP meeting, a Sex
Offender Order was sought and
obtained by the police, with the
purpose of limiting the risk he
posed to women.
c) Following a disclosure from a
b) As a result of closer links
between the Prisons, Probation
and Police, the forthcoming
release of a man with a history
of sexual assaults was risk
assessed by all agencies. As
this man had previously been
recalled to prison for failing to
comply with licence conditions,
he was due to leave prison at
the end of his sentence with no
licence. This man was assessed
as posing a very high risk of
harm to the public, taking into
account his lengthy and serious
offending history, his evasive
behaviour and lifestyle and his
previous responses to periods of
statutory supervision.
Police and Probation staff
worked together to engage this
man’s co-operation and he
agreed to meet voluntarily with
staff from both organisations.
He failed to co-operate as
agreed and it was discovered
that he had given false
information on registering under
the Sex Offender legislation. He
was arrested and remanded in
custody for several weeks. The
sentence imposed for the
offence resulted in his release
for time served; he then
relocated to another area.
MAPPP meetings were held
regularly during the period this
man was in the community and
information was shared through
MAPP arrangements with the
area to which he moved.
Eventually, the man
disappeared; however,
information sharing between
agencies enabled the police to
locate him. He was sentenced to
a term of imprisonment for
failure to register under Sex
Offender legislation.
member of the public, a man
who had been convicted in
Scotland for an offence of
abduction involving a sexual
assault some years previously
was identified by police officers.
Enquiries revealed he had
obtained a position as a bus
driver and was involved with a
female youth group. A MAPPP
meeting was called and it was
established that whilst previously
on temporary licence for the
abduction offence, he had been
stopped driving a car. A search
of the vehicle revealed items that
could have been used in a future
abduction and he was recalled to
prison. These facts prompted
the MAPPP to seek non-
statutory disclosure to his
employer and the organiser of
the female youth group. His
association with the female
youth group was terminated.
The disclosure to his employer
revealed he had obtained his
employment by deception for
which he was subsequently
prosecuted.
d) In 2001, a Sex Offender Order
was obtained against a man with
a history of indecency with
children. The Order prohibited
him from associating either in
public or private with a child
under 16 years. He was also
required to register as a sex
offender with the police. In
2002, the police received a
complaint that a man had invited
two children aged 7 years and 4
years into his home. The
address was identified and
through periodic police
monitoring under the Sex
Offender legislation, it was
recognised it was the home of a
registered sex offender and
interviews with the children
confirmed the man had invited
them into his home but had not
sexually assaulted them in any
way. Having contravened the
Sex Offender Order prohibitions,
the man was arrested for that
 offence, charged and remanded
in custody until his final court
date when he was sentenced to

4. How is the work of MAPPA made accountable?
Section 67(3) of The Criminal Justice
and Court Services Act 2000
requires that the work of MAPPA be
subject to review and monitoring. In
order to comply with this
requirement, a Strategic
Management Board has been
established in Devon and Cornwall.
The Board consists of senior
managers from police, probation,
health, social services, prisons,
youth offending teams and housing.
Its terms of reference are:
I. To develop and agree local
policies and procedures for inter-
agency work to exchange
information and assess and
manage offenders, within the
national framework provided by
Home Office guidance.
II. To evaluate and review the
effectiveness of the MAPPA, with
particular regard to the
identification of relevant
offenders, the inter-agency
exchange of information, the
assessment of risk posed by
relevant offenders and the
effective management of that risk.
III. To manage objectives and
performance indicators for public
protection within the national
framework.
IV. To improve local ways of working
in the light of knowledge gained
through national and local
experience and research and to
make sure that any lesson
learned is shared, understood
and acted upon.

to demonstrate that such information
is appropriately shared to prevent or

5. Work with and on behalf of victims
Devon and Cornwall Probation Area
employs Victim Liaison Officers,
whose role is to consult and advise
victims of sexual and violent
offences, in accordance with the
Criminal Justice & Court Services
Act 2000 and the Victims Charter. In
2002/2003, 95% of victims were
contacted within 8 weeks of the
offender’s sentence, in accordance
with National Standards and the
Victims Charter. This figure is based
on the 9 months from 1st April to 31st
December 2002.
Victim Liaison Officers attend
MAPPP panels, to ensure that the
victim’s perspective is taken into
account where possible, in the
formulation of risk management
plans and to represent the victim’s
interests.
The protection of victims is at the
core of multi-agency public
protection. Recently published
Children’s Safeguards Reports (Joint
Inspectorate) indicate that a range of
agencies, including Area Child
Protection Committees, Police, The
Department of Health, Home Office
and Youth Justice Board,
Department for Education and Skills
and the Lord Chancellor’s
Department, have to take steps to
improve their practice and
procedures in relation to the
protection of children.
Specific work with high risk of harm
offenders is undertaken with the
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
primary purposes of protecting
victims and preventing further
offending. Interventions described
earlier in this report include a range
of facilities aimed at reducing
offending by effecting behavioural
change, in addition to external
means of restricting behaviour, such
as prohibitive conditions in prison
licences, electronic monitoring,
hostel residence and surveillance
and monitoring. Protection of the
public througth the prevention of
victimisation is the central and
guiding principle of the work of
MAPPA and dependent upon
effective multi-agency working.
Case examples:
a) As a result of information received
from concerned parties, police
established that a woman had
formed a relationship with a man
prone to violent attacks on his
partners; the catalyst for these
attacks was deterioration of the
relationship. On two such
occasions he had abducted his
partners, taking them to remote
locations, where he would subject
them to violent and prolonged
assaults; as a result, he had
served periods of imprisonment.
It became clear that the current
partner knew only of one of these
incidents. A MAPPP meeting
concluded that it was necessary
to disclose the details of the
abductions to the current partner,
so that she could make an
informed decision about the
continuation of the relationship.
Arrangements were put in place
for a police domestic violence
officer to be present when the
disclosure was made, to provide
support and advice. The
relationship ended and the man
continues to be monitored.
b) Following a disclosure from a
member of the public, a man who
had been convicted for sexual
assault on a child some years
previously was identified by
police officers. Enquiries by a
Dangerous Offender Officer
revealed he had offered his
services to a charity providing
sailing opportunities to teenagers.
A MAPPP meeting was called
and his risk to children assessed.
It was concluded that the level of
risk posed was such that his
involvement with the charity
should be curtailed. A number of
risk management options were
considered; in the first instance
the man was invited to withdraw
voluntarily from the organisation;
he refused and therefore a non-
statutory disclosure was made to
the charity in question as well as
to relevant Harbour Masters.
This disclosure was aimed at
longer term prevention and
reduction of his activities.
6. Statistical Information
The annual statistics reflect a small upward trend in both the number of registered
sex offenders and the number of violent and other sex offenders in relation to the
statistics published in last year’s report. During 2002/2003, one offender subject to
MAPPP committed a serious offence; this matter will shortly come to trial, therefore
we are unable to comment upon it in this report.
