Acting on behalf of a group of clients, we have today written to the Government seeking proposals for a full, independent, public inquiry into the handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

If you have questions you feel the Government need to be answering then please contact us.

[Martin Jones (CEO) @jones_martinw]

I would like to finish by saying we are grateful to all those working together to ensure cases go ahead. Stay safe. 8/8

[Martin Jones (CEO) @jones_martinw]

More cases will be concluded by a single panel member to ensure we maximise the use of our people to progress as many cases as we can. 7/8

[Martin Jones (CEO) @jones_martinw]

Where a panel member can no longer attend a hearing due to coronavirus (ie: self-isolating) that hearing may be cancelled if the remainder of the panel feel they cannot proceed, but the emphasis will be to proceed wherever possible, as long as it is fair and appropriate. 6/8

[Martin Jones (CEO) @jones_martinw]

Victims will be invited to consider remote attendance, to keep them safe, or agree the panel can rely on the written statement. The views of the prisoner or rep will always be sought before deciding if an oral hearing is needed but the final decision lies with the panel chair 5/8

[Martin Jones (CEO) @jones_martinw]

Where hearings are needed, the Board is trying to be as flexible as possible with facilitating oral hearings where appropriate. This may include allowing panel members, legal reps and witnesses to undertake video/telephone links from home to try and avoid delay to hearings. 4/8

[Martin Jones (CEO) @jones_martinw]

Our principles do not change:
- Protection of the public
- Fairness
- The test for release
When deciding if any changes need to be made to a hearing or panel, our touch-stone is whether these would undermine the fairness of proceedings. 2/8

[Martin Jones (CEO) @jones_martinw]

We are doing everything in our power to progress parole cases where possible, whilst keeping people safe, and are exploring new avenues to do so amid the coronavirus outbreak. Today, we have issued fresh guidance to members which I will outline below. 1/8
