Public protection is our priority. Offenders on licence are subject to strict licence conditions and supervision. When an offender breaches a condition of their licence, their probation officer will undertake a thorough risk assessment to determine whether it is necessary, for the protection of the public, to recall that offender to prison.

The requested data are not available at this time. Licence recalls data covering April – June 2020 are planned for publication in October 2020.
