Current priorities within the unit include: •A significant focus on non-custodial sentencing, including a policy review of financial penalties and ongoing work to ensure that courts have the powers to impose fines more flexibly and proportionately. •Delivering substantial reforms to the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme to improve access for victims; an area with high ministerial interest and requiring cross-government working with the Home Office, CPS and Attorney General’s Office as well as with the Victims’ Commissioner and directly with victims. •Implementing legislative changes to the Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence and working with HMPPS on measures to support those serving the sentence to progress towards release from prison and licence termination. •Managing MoJ’s policy sponsorship of the Sentencing Council, which has been subject to sustained media and parliamentary interest over the past year, culminating in recent legislative reforms (which the unit led on) in the Sentencing Act 2026 to introduce requirements for the Council to obtain formal approval of its annual business plans and definitive sentencing guidelines before publication. •Leading on custodial sentence reform, including developing cohort-specific options to tailor sentencing approaches that balance public protection and rehabilitation
