Accredited Programme Requirement
Delivered by trained facilitators, primarily within a group setting, these programmes are informed by evidence and accredited. They are designed to provide opportunities to change thinking, attitudes and behaviours associated with offending.
Rehabilitation Activity Requirement (RAR)
This requirement allows for precise and effective rehabilitation activity to be tailored following a more in-depth assessment after sentence. These activities can comprise:
Community Sentence Treatment Requirements
The three treatment requirements are: Mental Health Treatment Requirements, Drug Rehabilitation Requirements (which include drug testing) and Alcohol Treatment Requirements. Those being considered must agree to engage in treatment.
Electronic Monitoring
Electronic Monitoring can be both a requirement and a way in which other requirements are enforced. They are designed to monitor an individual’s whereabouts for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with certain requirements. This can involve electronically monitored curfew, exclusion and prohibited activity requirements. The Transdermal tag can monitor alcohol abstinence.
Unpaid work
Individuals undertake unpaid work that must benefit their local community as a way to pay back to the community for their crimes.
The brochure does not cover all available community sentence requirements (for instance, residence requirement, prohibited activity requirement, non-electronically monitored exclusion, foreign travel prohibition requirement), or other sentencing options (fines, discharges and custodial sentences).
For more information about these, please visit the Sentencing Council Website.
