The risks that cannot be ignored
This is the third annual report on the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements
(MAPPA) for Surrey. It highlights the achievements made as a result of effective
collaboration between the criminal justice agencies.
At the heart of MAPPA is the desire to prevent future victims by assessing risk thoroughly,
by working together to manage risk and wherever possible, by engaging offenders to reduce
their own risks by working on their offending behaviour.
At a strategic level, Surrey has been fortunate in having the benefit of lay members to offer
independent oversight of MAPPA and help move initiatives forward. In addition, the co-
operation of the prison service, who have recently joined police and probation in the
‘responsible authority’ for this multi-agency work, has added value to reintegrating offenders
into the community. We are also fortunate this year to be able to look forward to even more
help and cooperation from a wide range of other agencies.
We live in a society that is constantly being told of the latest risk, whether to our health,
wealth or waistlines. Often as individuals we choose to ignore some such warnings but as
a society, there are some risks that cannot be ignored.
The MAPPA are a positive step to learn from the lessons of the past and build something
that helps to protect the most vulnerable in our communities. The progress made by the
Surrey MAPPA is illustrated in this report and represents an enormous amount of hard work,
endeavour and commitment by those involved. We are sure they will continue to build on
that foundation in the year to come.
