Critical Public Protection Cases- MP notification Scheme Policy Framework

Current

Criminal Justice Hub summary

Explains when probation staff should seek registration of a Critical Public Protection Case and how the scheme supports its management. It covers referral criteria, advice, limited funding and notification of ministers and participating MPs about release plans. Registration does not automatically transfer a case to the National Security Division or remove local management responsibilities.
