Sentencing Council open consultation
Sentencing Council open consultation into perverting the course of justice and witness intimidation

The Sentencing Council has published a consultation paper on draft guidelines for offences of perverting the course of justice and witness intimidation. They are seeking views to help inform the final guidelines.
They are seeking views on:
- principal factors that make any of the offences included within the draft guidelines more or less serious
- additional factors that should influence the sentence
- types and lengths of sentence that should be passed
- issues relating to disparity of sentencing and broader matters relating to equality and diversity that the guidelines should address
To take part and have your views heard, join in with the consultation by 22 June 2022.
