Detail of outcome
We have considered the responses and our findings are in the attached report.
Original consultation
Consultation description
This consultation is open to the public and targeted at directly affected parties, including the police, Crown Prosecution Service, community groups, businesses and organisations with a direct interest in the proposals.
We are seeking views from across the UK. The proposals cover matters that are devolved and which apply only to England and Wales, but we will work closely with the devolved administrations on how specific proposals might apply to or affect Scotland and Northern Ireland. Where proposals deal with devolved matters and legislation is required, this will be agreed with the devolved administrations in accordance with the devolution settlements.
If you are unable to complete the online survey, for example because you use specialist accessibility software which is not compatible with the system, you can download a pdf version of the online form and submit it by email or post.
Contact us if you require information in another format, such as easy read, large print, Braille or audio.
We may not be able to analyse responses not submitted in these formats.
