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.
Update November 2024
We have published a mid-year update to our Business Plan for 2024/25, which summarises changes to the published plan, in particular to the timing of publication of definitive guidelines.
The business plan sets out the work the Council aims to undertake in the year to March 2025.
