Terms of Reference

To produce a report in response to widespread concern about: the way that ASBIs are being applied for and/or used in the courts; the limited powers afforded to the court; and the lack of involvement of third parties in the process.

The group seek to report by April 2020 to provide clarity on sentencing guidelines and make recommendations for future improvements.
