The Council routinely engages with organisations and individuals. It aims to respond to correspondence within 20 working days, providing information when reasonable and appropriate in relation to areas within the Council’s remit. In developing sentencing guidelines, it engages with a range of relevant organisations and individuals, including representative groups, justice organisations, and academics.
Information about how we will handle any personal data you send us is available here.
The Council's unacceptable actions policy is available here.
