This is the second annual report of the Staffordshire Multi Agency Public Protection Panel
(MAPPP). It highlights the safeguards put in place to protect the people of Staffordshire from
violent and sexual offenders and describes the processes used to manage those risks.

This year the total number of sex offenders living in the county has increased from 320 (in
2001-2002) to 363. This is to be expected. As new offenders join the sex offenders’ register,
90% of those previously registered remain under supervision for statutory periods of five
years, ten years or life, dependant upon the severity of their crime and their age at
conviction/caution. This remains a tiny percentage of the Staffordshire population.

Lower risk offenders make up the bulk of this register – two thirds of those will be registered
for ten years or less. These statutory periods mean that fewer offenders leave the register –
around 8% per year – while new offenders are registered at a rate of 20%. This increase has
been boosted by proactive police campaigns, such as those focused on the purchase of
illegal web-based materials.

This increasing cumulative total is not a bad thing. It means that MAPPPs, which were
established as part of the Court Services and Criminal Justice Act 2000 and boosted by the
Sex Offenders Act 1997 under which the register was created, can properly manage those
who may pose a risk – however small.

MAPPP membership is drawn from various social agencies – the police, probation service,
local authorities and health and housing services – to ensure that all community issues are
taken into consideration in the management of sexual, violent and other potentially
dangerous offenders.

Those on the sex offenders’ register have committed offences ranging from possession of
indecent photographs to sexual assault. Those within the violent offender category have
convictions ranging from causing actual bodily harm to murder. Headline-grabbing sex
offences such as attacks by paedophiles or child murders are extremely rare and those
perpetrators would represent only a tiny proportion on any register.

MAPPPs are all about prevention. Assessing and managing the risk of sex and violent
offenders provides a layered approach, from prison release to treatment and supervision.
We recognise that these types of offenders can cause great distress and concern to our
communities but this co-ordinated multi-agency approach tackles the risk they pose to
protect the public.

1 Area Summary

The origins of the Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements

In the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 the Government placed a legal duty on the local Chief Constable and the
Probation Board for their area to put in place multi agency arrangements for the protection of the public from violent and sexual
offenders who might pose a risk of serious harm. This report is the second since the legislation came into effect and covers the
period 1 April 2002 to 31 March 2003.

Better public protection is achieved by agencies, (particularly police, probation, prisons, social services and youth offending teams)
sharing information and working together. Action plans are put in place that will reduce offenders’ risk to the public following
sentence by the court and on release from prison.

Multi agency arrangements to protect the public had been in operation in Staffordshire for some time prior to 2000. Following the
Sex Offenders Act 1997, Staffordshire Police and agencies in Staffordshire came together and established arrangements for the
assessment and management of sex offenders.

Staffordshire Police established dedicated police officers in each division to manage the registration and supervision of registered
sex offenders. Part of this is a pattern of regular visits to the offenders to ensure that they are still living at their registered address
and to monitor any factors, which might indicate a risk to individuals or the general public.

Legislation requires offenders convicted of certain sexual offences to notify the police of their address within 72 hours for initial
registration and 14 days of further changes including changes of address and travel abroad.

Staffordshire police has a good record in enforcing registration, 98.62% of those who should register have complied with the
requirement and continue to be at their registered address. Seventeen have been pursued and prosecuted for failing to comply.

Regular multi agency risk assessment meetings share information to assess the risks presented by an offender and then agree
what actions agencies will take to minimise it. Action plans are regularly reviewed to assess how effective the actions have been
in reducing the risk.

The monitoring of sex offenders might indicate a return to behaviour, which precipitated previous sexual offending e.g. targeting
areas where children might be or other vulnerable people and attempting to form inappropriate relationships. Where evidence
can be gathered of activities linked to the risk of re-offending the police have been successful in securing sex offender orders in
appropriate cases. This order prevents offenders engaging in specified activities like going to swimming pools when children are
on the premises or to playgrounds or having unsupervised contact with minors. However, not all sex offenders offend against
children and not all sex offender orders will be aimed at protecting potential child victims. Some will be to protect adults.

Three offenders in Staffordshire have sex offenders orders placing restrictions on their behaviour. The behaviour of offenders
subject to such orders continues to be monitored and offenders who engage in behaviour, which breaches the order, can be
immediately arrested.

The maximum penalty for a breach of a sex offender order is five years in prison. The police in Staffordshire have prosecuted four
breaches (including a repeat) with a custodial sentence resulting in each case.

Most of the sexual and violent offenders who might pose a risk of serious harm to the public are under the supervision of the
probation service. Staffordshire Probation Area has within its risk management policy clear procedures for assessing the risks
presented by every offender for whom it has a statutory responsibility. Probation staff will gather information from other agencies
in order to assess the risks that individual offenders present. Once this has taken place, probation staff with colleagues from other
agencies and the offender will work together to minimise the risks presented by the individual offender.

A good deal has been learned from agencies working together in the last few years. The lessons learned have shaped
Staffordshire’s response to public protection. MAPPPs have been in operation in Staffordshire since April 2001. The core
membership comprises senior managers from police, probation, social services, and a police officer from the Public Protection
Unit [PPU], it also involves those who are working on a day to day basis with the offender. This is discussed further within the
“Roles and Responsibilities” section.

In Staffordshire we are working towards a three-level system of risk assessment and management with level three being the
highest risk of category. Seriousness of risk and the resources needed to manage the risk are the primary factor determining the
level at which cases will be discussed.

2 The Principles Underpinning Public Protection
The protection of the public is the
prime concern, which drives these
measures. This balances the rights
of the victim and the offender.
All work under the arrangements is
carried out in accordance with the
legal requirements and the spirit of
the Human Rights Act 1998, the
Data Protection Act 1998 and the
Police and Criminal Evidence Act
1984.
To balance rights and
responsibilities the work carried out
under the arrangements will
wherever possible attempt to
engage an offender in the
management of their own risk.
Teaching offenders’ ways of
managing their own risk will be part
of their action plan to reduce their
risk to the public and their progress
will be monitored by the multi
agency panel.
Staffordshire Probation Area runs a
number of nationally accredited and
intensive programmes to tackle the
risks presented by high-risk
offenders. These programmes can
be a condition of a community
rehabilitation order or a condition in
a release licence following a prison
sentence.
3 Roles and Responsibilities
The Chief Constable and Probation
Board is deemed to be the
“responsible authority” for public
protection by establishing
arrangements to assess and
manage the risk posed by sexual,
violent and other dangerous
offenders in Staffordshire.
Following an offender’s
assessment, an individual may be
placed on specific group work
programmes. The enhanced
thinking skills programme requires
attendance for twenty sessions
totalling fifty hours. Offenders
participate in a series of exercises
using questions, which require them
to think about how they react to their
feelings, behaviour and relate to
other people. They are asked to
think about the consequences of
their behaviour, learn from past
decisions and understand other
peoples’ perspectives.
The community sex offender group
work programme is based on
research in USA and the United
Kingdom. This has repeatedly
demonstrated that imprisonment
alone will have little, if any effect on
repeat offending. Intensive group
work has been shown to lead to a
significant reduction in re-offending
rates. The programme requires
offenders to attend sessions for two
years and requires a high level of
motivation and commitment from
participants.
During the programme, offenders
must examine their thought
processes, attitudes and belief
systems, their offending and the
impact on victims. It is a demanding
programme.
An early and significant response to
the legal requirements placed on
Staffordshire Police and the
Probation Board, was the setting up
of the jointly staffed PPU, already
referred to above.
4
Reports on offenders’ progress in
the group are shared with the
MAPPP and offenders are clearly
told as they begin the group that if
they fail to comply enforcement
action will be taken promptly. This is
very likely to result in a custodial
sentence.
Both these programmes clearly
work on changing the way offenders
manage their lives and therefore
their risk by raising the importance
of “internal controls”. This is critical
in reducing the level of risk that they
present, both during supervision or
when they no longer have statutory
contact with the probation service.
Supervision by the probation and
police services combined with
programmes to teach control and
the prevention of relapse are key to
self-control. Often other specialist
services are used to achieve a
reduction in risk for example a
timely intervention by the mental
health services or accommodation
providers. Self-management will be
supported by varying degrees of
external control, which might
include required residence at a
probation hostel, curfew and where
appropriate drug testing. Failure to
respond to these requirements can
often result in return to prison.
The role of the unit is to co-ordinate
the arrangements for the
assessment and management of all
relevant offenders.
3 Roles and Responsibilities
The responsible authority must put
in place a strategic management
board comprising senior managers
from relevant agencies. This board
has a responsibility to review the
effectiveness of local public
protection arrangements. This is
covered in more detail under a
separate section headed “Strategic
Management of Multi Agency Public
Protection Arrangements”.
Those agencies with specific roles
and responsibilities for MAPPA are:-
q Staffordshire Police has a
duty to protect life and
property. Immediate action
is taken to deal with people
presenting a high risk of
causing serious harm to the
public. In appropriate cases
action will be followed up by
a referral to the Public
Protection Unit for a multi
agency response.
Dedicated officers are
available throughout the
county to manage and
monitor sex offenders.
This would include visiting
offenders, gathering
intelligence and acting
upon it.
Staffordshire Police is a
core contributor to the
public protection
arrangements and provides
senior management
representation on the
MAPPP and the Strategic
Management Board [SMB].
In addition the service
provides a significant
contribution to the level two
multi agency meetings.
q Staffordshire Probation
Area has a statutory duty
to supervise most of the
offenders falling within the
MAPPA.
(continued)
In its work with offenders the
agency has a responsibility
to reduce the risk of re-
offending and the risk of
serious harm to the public.
The most dangerous
offenders will be referred to
the PPU.
q Staffordshire County
Council and Stoke-on-
Trent City Council
social services
departments have a
statutory duty to provide
services for a range of
individuals including children
in need and their families,
older people, people with
disabilities and those with
mental health needs. The
role of social services
departments in working with
other agencies through the
Area Child Protection
Committees [ACPC] means
that they have a key part to
play in the assessment and
management of the risks
posed by those who might
cause serious harm to the
public.
Both departments are core
contributors to public
protection arrangements by
referring appropriate cases,
and contributing to the
overall management of
public protection
arrangements.
q Staffordshire County
Council and Stoke-on-
Trent City Council youth
offending services have a
responsibility to assess the
risk by young people of re-
offending and risk of
causing serious harm to the
public.
5
q Staffordshire County
Council and Stoke-on-
Trent City Council
education departments
are involved in the
arrangements for identifying
and referring those
considered appropriate to
the PPU and participate in
relevant case meetings.
q Housing Provision plays a
significant role in the
effective management of
offenders. Progress
continues to be made with
housing authorities and
associations to provide a
helpful working framework
that recognises the needs of
housing providers, the
community and the offender.
Given that appropriate
accommodation can
reduce the risk presented
by an offender, the Home
Office have recently funded
the provision of two
specialist staff to focus on
securing appropriate
accommodation for
offenders who might pose
a risk of harm to the public.
Once this has been
achieved the specialist
staff will maintain close
contact with the offender to
monitor their progress and
include any evidence of
increasing risk. Regular
reports are provided to the
multi agency meeting.
3 Roles and Responsibilities (continued)

q Health providers primarily
those involved in forensic
services, refer appropriate
cases to the PPU. Senior
managers have also
assisted with disclosures
to protect staff and other
patients from violent or
sexual offenders.
q Local Prisons have been
involved in drawing up
protocols concerning the
management of potentially
dangerous offenders and
their release from custody.
However Staffordshire
together with other areas
has prisoners serving
sentences all over the
country.
Police and probation staff The next Criminal Justice
always exchange Act will involve the Prison
information on offenders Service becoming equally
during sentence and responsible with Police
particularly when planning and Probation for area
for release. In specific public protection
cases prison staff will attend arrangements.
MAPPPs in the area where
the prisoner will go on
release. The release
of those posing a risk of
serious harm will be planned
well before release date.
On behalf of the Prison
Service a management
representative from HMP
Stafford participates in the
MAPPA Strategic
Management Board.

4 The Operation of Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements

How are sexual and violent
offenders who pose a risk of serious
harm identified? How are they
assessed and managed in order to
minimise the risk to the public? This
is the essential work of the MAPPA.
Identification of relevant
offenders
Agencies in Staffordshire most likely
to come into contact with potentially
dangerous offenders are all
involved with the public protection
arrangements. Some agencies are
heavily involved on a regular basis:
others less so. Most of the relevant
offenders will be supervised by the
probation service or the youth
offending team or subject to
monitoring by the police as a
registered sex offender. These
agencies have nationally agreed
risk assessment systems, which
assist in the identification of those
who pose a risk of serious harm. In
addition, the police use a national
assessment framework which is
applied to every sex offender in
Staffordshire.
Work is progressing on ensuring
that other agencies have risk
assessment procedures in place to
identify those who they come into
contact with who might pose a risk
of serious harm.
Assessment and Management
What happens when a relevant
offender who poses a risk of serious
harm is identified?
6
The agency who has identified the
offender will contact the PPU, set
out their concerns and request a
multi agency meeting who consider
the risk and how this will be
managed.
In Staffordshire, multi agency public
protection meetings are held twice
per month to consider those who
pose the highest risk of causing
serious harm to the public. Each
case is considered by senior
managers from police, probation,
social services and staff from the
public protection unit. It will also
involve those working with the
offender on a day to day basis.
4 The Operation of Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements
(continued)
The meeting will consider the
following:
ü who is at risk from the
offender
ü in what circumstances
ü when
ü identify what harm might
occur.
The meeting will determine what
action must be taken to reduce the
risks to individuals and the public
and decide which agency will be
responsible for particular action
which will be reviewed at the next
meeting.
A critical time for some high risk
offenders is their immediate release
from prison. In order to manage
this, for example, the offender may
be collected at the prison gates and
taken to their home area. This
process will include:
ü registration at a designated
police station
ü the police have the power to
take the offender’s photograph
and finger prints.
Case example one
Steve has a number of serious
previous convictions against
children, including child abduction.
As a consequence of his offence his
release from prison was a cause of
great concern. This was discussed
over a number of months by the
multi agency public protection
meeting to ensure his safe return to
the community.
The release plan agreed between
the agencies included the provision
of accommodation where he could
be supervised and monitored which
was reinforced by a curfew.
Conditions were imposed on his
release from prison by the Home
Office, following recommendation
by the probation officer. The
conditions were:
q to reside where approved by
the supervisor
q seek supervisor’s
agreement to any
employment or voluntary
activities
q not to have inappropriate
contact with children.
The plan included supervision by
the PPU. Steve was visited in prison
by staff from the unit where
conditions for his supervision were
discussed with him. To ensure that
supervision got underway
immediately from prison he was
collected and taken to the
accommodation where the
requirements were once again
reinforced including the curfew.
Steve was regularly supervised by
the unit. The unit identified that he
was forming relationships with
vulnerable women with children and
he had obtained employment
contrary to the terms of his prison
licence. Information regarding the
risks presented to children was
disclosed to the women to allow
them to protect their children. Not
only had employment been gained
in a potentially risky situation
without declaring convictions but
also without the probation officer’s
agreement. The potential employer
was informed which prevented
Steve taking a job with the
company.
Given the nature of his behaviour
and his failure to comply with
release licence, a successful
application was made the Home
Office which led to his immediate
recall to prison.
7
Case example two
Simon was sentenced to custody
for offences against boys in the
community. On release from prison
he quickly reoffended in a similar
manner and was again sentenced
to prison where he undertook an
extensive sex offender programme.
On the occasion of his second
release the MAPPPs had been
established which discussed the
plan needed to reduce the risk of
further offending.
Simon was to be released from a
prison outside Staffordshire. He
was collected from prison and taken
to accommodation where he could
be monitored.
Any ‘internal controls’ to prevent
reoffending developed by Simon
through the prison sex offender
programme were reinforced by
‘external controls’ in the form of
monitored accommodation and
stringent release licence conditions.
The licence involves residence
were approved, curfew to coincide
with children going to and from
school, employment restrictions,
restrictions on entering leisure
facilities without approval and
attendance at a sex offender
programme run by the probation
service in the community. Any
attempt to contact victims is
prohibited in the licence and Simon
is not allowed to enter the area in
which they live. The probation
service and police have carried out
the supervision of his licence.
Simon has not re-offended.
4 The Operation of Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements
(continued)
Case example three
Richard has a long history of
committing offences of extreme
violence. His last victim suffered
severe head injuries and was left
paralysed. Richard’s inability to
cope with the every day challenges
of living in the community often lead
him to resort to alcohol abuse and
violence. He eventually began to
resort to desperate behaviour
during prison sentences, because
he was frightened about release.
The MAPPP met a number of times
to plan for his release. A specialist
hostel was found for his release.
The multi agency meeting
continued to monitor him although
he was not subject to statutory
supervision. Since release from the
sentence over 18 months ago there
has been no repeat of his previous
alcohol-fuelled violence. He
continues to be seen as a high risk
and is monitored by the MAPPP.
Case example four
Gerald, an older man with a history
of serious offences against children
and adults was placed carefully in
the community after a period of
intense monitoring following release
from prison. The unit identified that
he constantly sought opportunities
to target children or vulnerable
adults. Following the multi agency
meetings, disclosure about his risk
has been made to families where he
has sought contact. As the result of
this action, no further contact has
taken place between Gerald and
these families.
These cases demonstrate the level
of supervision which is undertaken
by police and probation staff
working together.
When offenders fail to comply with
their supervision conditions action is
promptly taken.
Disclosure
Part of the management process is
the disclosure of information to
other agencies, vulnerable people
and the general public according to
the level of assessed risk.
Disclosure has taken place on 34
occasions during the year.
The issue of disclosure of
information about sex offenders,
particularly their whereabouts is a
controversial one. The public
protection arrangements in
Staffordshire keep under constant
review the need to protect potential
victims. Disclosure of the risks
presented by an individual can be a
valuable risk management tool
used appropriately.
Disclosure is not used
indiscriminately. This is an option
always considered where it would
assist in the protection of
identifiable potential victims. The
disclosure must be a balance
between:
q the risks presented by the
individual,
q the protection which might
be possible by making the
disclosure,
q duty of care to possible
victims,
q the human rights of the
offender
q the potential for the offender
going “underground” with a
loss of contact.
The case examples in this report
show how some disclosures have
been used, there are many others.
Not all sex offenders offend against
8
children and disclosures have been
made with a view to protecting
adults as well as children.
Disclosure is used to great effect in
Staffordshire.
Victim work
Part of the arrangements for
protecting the public set out in the
Criminal Justice and Court Services
Act 2000 is the requirement for the
probation service to take account of
victims’ views in cases of serious
sexual and violent offences where
the offender has been sentenced to
12 months or more. This is
particularly important when
offenders are being considered for
release from custody.
Officers from the victims unit make
contact with victims of serious
sexual and violent offences within
eight weeks of sentence offering
contact.
During 2002/03, the Staffordshire
Victims Unit has achieved contact
within this time in 89% of cases
compared to the national target set
for all probation areas of 85%.
The contact with the victim can
provide them with information about
their offender’s sentence. These
liaison officers also offer the victim
an opportunity to receive
information about significant events
during the offender’s sentence.
These might include moving the
offender to an open prison, or to
release on parole. The victim will be
provided with the opportunity to
express any concerns they may
have about their safety should such
moves take place and to have these
concerns reported to the parole
board and the prison governor.
4 The Operation of Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements
(continued)
If the offender is to be released
under supervision the conditions
under which release takes place
could include specific restrictions on
the offender to protect the victim.
An offender will usually be
prohibited from making contact with
the victim and sometimes they are
banned from areas around the
victim’s home, or school in the case
of child victims.
The protection of victims is always a
primary consideration whenever an
offender is being considered at a
multi agency risk management
meeting. Close liaison takes place
between staff from the PPU and
staff from the Victims Unit; the latter
are able to directly communicate
the victim’s concerns to the multi
