Offender Management Act 2007 (Approved Premises) Regulations 2008 (SI 2008/1263) Commence 1 June 2008. Update the arrangements for the regulation, management and inspection of Approved Premises (APs), which provide accommodation for individuals on bail and for offenders released on licence into the community. Take account of new commissioning arrangements for probation introduced by the Offender Management Act 2007, Pt 1 (the OMA 2007) and ensure that, for APs that will be governed by contracts between the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) and probation trusts, the new public sector providers of probation services established under the OMA 2007, the appropriate regulations do not apply overlapping or contradictory requirements.
