The Sentencing Council: Future of sentencing

The Sentencing Council consultation on what its future priorities and objectives should be is now open until 9 September

The consultation, ‘What next for the sentencing council?’ is open to anyone with an interest in the criminal justice system, and can be accessed at www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk.

It marks the ten-year anniversary of the Council. Respondents can select the areas of the consultation that most appeal to them, and are asked to bear in mind the limited resources of the Council when making suggestions―it has 14 members and an office staffed by 17 people.
