Sentencing Council Business Plan 2024/25
The Sentencing Council business plan 2024/25 sets out the work the Council aims to undertake in the year to March 2023 to meet our statutory objectives and the objectives we set ourselves in our five-year strategy.
In the coming year we aim to publish a number of new and revised definitive guidelines:
- a major revision to the guideline on the imposition of community and custodial sentences
- new guidelines for blackmail, kidnap and false imprisonment
- revised guidelines for aggravated vehicle taking offences, vehicle registration fraud and driver disqualification
- new sentencing guidelines for immigration offences.
We will be consulting on offence specific guidelines for non-fatal strangulation, housing offences, public order and hare coursing offences. We are also proposing a new overarching guideline to provide the courts with guidance on the use of ancillary orders.
