2 Introduction The Offender Rehabilitation Act 2014 (ORA 14) and the new Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) contracts mean there are a number of positive changes being made to those who are sentenced to custody and this presentation details what these changes are and how as Cheshire & Greater Manchester CRC (C&GM CRC) we have prepared for tem.

3 ORA 14 What does this mean? Enables statutory involvement with those revolving door cases. Enables a more coordinated approach to addressing risk and needs. Increases expectations in terms of compliance and engagement with relevant services/interventions. Provides a 12 month period in the community to monitor, address and support change; thereby reducing reoffending. For example: An individual sentenced to 6 months custody will serve: [Total 12 months community provision] 3 months custody 3 months licence 9 months post sentence supervision

4 Expectations/Implications Licence recalls Breach of post sentence supervision 50,000 new offenders to work with Nationally Annually, approximately 2,101 each year in C&GM CRC 362 already in our system some in custody and some already on licence/pss Gradual build up of cases as only those sentenced for offences committed on or after 1 st February 2015 eligible
