The Offender Rehabilitation Act 2014

The Offender Rehabilitation Act 2014 is UK legislation aimed at improving how offenders receive support to reintegrate into society. It emphasizes personalized rehabilitation plans, assessment of risks, and coordinated efforts among agencies. The Act promotes community-based sentences over imprisonment when appropriate, focusing on reducing re-offending by addressing individuals' specific needs, such as housing, employment, and mental health. It also enhances monitoring and support mechanisms to ensure offenders have the resources needed to lead law-abiding lives post-sentence, ultimately aiming to increase public safety and reduce the cycle of re-offending.
