Item 7 - London Blueprint on Female Offenders (L4/19)

 
Summary:    
 
This report gives an overview of London’s Blueprint for whole system approach to women in contact with the Criminal Justice System.
The Blueprint sets out a common ambition for London partners to work together to improve outcomes for female offenders and is intended to create a foundation for a whole systems approach, focused on diversion and early intervention.
This work has been led by the Mayor's Office of Policing and Crime (MOPAC) in partnership with the Prison Reform Trust, with input throughout its development from key stakeholders including boroughs.  
The Blueprint forms part of the delivery of shared commitments in the Memorandum of Understanding on Criminal Justice Devolution.
 
Recommendations
 
Leaders’ Committee is asked to:
a. Endorse the shared vision outlined in the Blueprint to develop a whole systems approach to female offenders in London.
b. Commend the Blueprint to individual London local authorities, who are invited add their formal support as signatories.
