Miscellaneous amendments to sentencing guidelines 2024

Equalities

Many of the proposals within this consultation are for relatively minor or technical changes which are unlikely to have any bearing on equality issues. We would welcome comments on any equality issues relating to the proposals that we have missed.

Impact

The Council anticipates that any impact on prison and probation resources from the majority of the changes proposed in this consultation will be minor. In view of the nature of the consultation, a separate resource assessment has not been produced but a brief discussion on impact has been included in relation to each proposal.

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.
