Details
This HMPPS policy framework sets out the mandatory requirements for progression panels. This applies to individuals serving Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) and Detention for Public Protection (DPP) sentences in custody, and in the community under probation supervision. For those serving life sentences, the framework applies to individuals under probation supervision in the community. The framework is aimed at staff working with these cohorts to support the preparation and delivery of the panels.
Progression Panels are multidisciplinary meetings delivered to support and manage the progression of those serving indeterminate sentences, towards prospective future safe release and towards the end of their licence supervision. This framework sets out the required frequency, duties, requirements and general guidance on holding progression panels, to maximise their effectiveness.
