— "This Guidance on MAPPA has been issued by the Secretary of State for Justice under the CJA 2003 in order to help the relevant agencies in dealing with MAPPA offenders. These agencies are required to have regard to the Guidance (so they need to demonstrate and record their reasons if they depart from it)." This is the latest version on Gov.uk but chapter 24 was updated in September 2023: HMPPS, 'MAPPA Guidance' (dated March 2023, updated 13/9/23).
