What Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) are
Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) is a legal framework that ensures different organisations work together to robustly assess, monitor, and manage the risks of serious violent and sexual offenders.
Key organisations include Police Scotland, Scottish Prison Service (SPS), our justice social work service, other council services, and Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP).
These arrangements assess, monitor, and manage the safety risks posed by people convicted of serious crimes.
These include:
- Registered Sex Offenders who are subject to notification requirements under the Sexual Offences Act 2003
- Mentally Disordered Restricted Patients
- Other Risk of Serious Harm Offenders.
These arrangements were established under the terms of the Management of Offenders (Scotland) Act 2005.
