Ancillary Orders Consultation
Equalities and impact
As stated in the introduction, the Council is seeking to improve the consistency, accessibility and presentation of the current information and to provide more detailed guidance for both magistrates’ courts and the Crown Court.
Equalities
The proposals being consulted are unlikely to have any bearing on equality issues, save for possibly in a positive way by improving the consistency of approach to ancillary orders. We would welcome comments on any equality issues relating to the proposals that we have missed.
Impact
The Council does not anticipate any impact on prison and probation resources from the proposals in this consultation. In view of the nature of the consultation, a resource assessment has not been produced.
General observations
We would also like to hear any other views you have on the proposals that you have not had the opportunity to raise in response to earlier questions.
