There are sexual and violent offenders in all communities. They can be any age, gender, ethnicity or position in society. Warwickshire Probation Trust is committed to identifying and convicting these offenders and to protect the public from any further offences.

Warwickshire Probation Trust is one the agencies that form the Warwickshire MAPPA – Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements. Other agencies include police, prison service, youth offending teams, Jobcentre Plus, local education authorities, local housing authorities, registered social landlords, social services, strategic health authorities, care trusts and NHS trusts, and electronic monitoring providers.

MAPPA is governed by 4 main principles :

  • identify who may pose a risk of harm 
  • share relevant information about them
  • assess the nature and extent of that risk
  • find ways to manage that risk effectively, protecting victims and reducing further harm.

A major part of MAPPAs work is the need to protect previous and possible future victims.

MAPPA is monitored by a Strategic Management Board that checks how the arrangements are working.

For further information on the work of MAPPA, check out the MAPPA Annual Report.
