We want to highlight that these changes will not be implemented until after a new Government is in place.

As this year comes to an end, we are grateful for all we have achieved in 2023!! continuing the fight for IPP’s and assisting vulnerable clients. But what we always want to do is ensure people are treated with compassion, care and kindness I think this testimonial says it all!!

@UNGRIPP Also we knew this doesn’t help those still detained and this is a wider issue that must be addressed

@AlexChalkChelt Dear Mr Chalk, what plans are in place to help those that are so mentally damaged by this sentence, please advise who will help them? Or the people that are so angry and possibly institutionalised - what will you do to help and rehabilitate them?

The @Parole_Board has issued a new priority framework for listing cases for oral hearings

It *now* prioritises people sentenced to #IPP as children, recognising their particular needs

Over 300 children were given IPPs
