General Scheme of Sex Offenders (Amendment) Bill 2018: Discussion

Mr. Ryan Henderson:
One of the key bodies for us is what is called our local area public protection panels, LAPPPs, and that is the process whereby post-conviction and sentence, either upon release from prison or if the person is not going through a custodial sentence, that multi-agency panel meets and considers the risk. For example, pre-prison release there will be a LAPPP in prison that the prison will chair and we will be there alongside social service and probation colleagues, etc. and it goes through an actuarial assessment-----
