Details

As part of the Government’s response to the terror attack at Fishmonger’s Hall in 2019, the Lord Chancellor and Home Secretary asked Jonathan Hall QC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, to review the effectiveness of Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) when it comes to managing terrorist offenders and other offenders who may pose a terrorist risk. The terms of reference were published in January 2020 and Jonathan Hall’s report was published on 2 September 2020.

Jonathan Hall found that MAPPA is a well-established process and did not conclude that wholesale change is necessary. He has made a number of recommendations on how the management of terrorists can be improved.

The Lord Chancellor and Home Secretary responded to his recommendations on 17 December 2020, setting out the work that the government, the police and HM Prison and Probation Service was undertaking to improve the supervision of terrorism-risk offenders.
