If you’re convicted of a violent or sexual crime

If you’re convicted of a violent or sexual crime and are released, you may be placed under Multi-Agency Protection Arrangements (MAPPA).

These bring together police, probation and prison services to supervise (manage) people when in the community.

If you’re released under MAPPA, information about you may be shared across different organisations like:

· children’s services

· adult social care services

· local education services

· health trusts and authorities

· Jobcentre Plus
