We are delighted to hear news that those who were sentenced to #ipp sentences can now apply to the @ParoleBoard for a licence termination after three years.
If you need any help or advice in making this application our expert solicitors at RTW can help.

We’ve made a guide on the IPP changes that were voted through Parliament recently.
We want to highlight that these changes will not be implemented until after a new Government is in place.

As this year comes to an end, we are grateful for all we have achieved in 2023!! continuing the fight for IPP’s and assisting vulnerable clients. But what we always want to do is ensure people are treated with compassion, care and kindness I think this testimonial says it all!!
amp.theguardian.com/law/2023… @UNGRIPP success but still work to be done for those still detained and on recall.
Prison lawyers warn more will quit if legal aid fees not raised in England and Wales theguardian.com/society/2023…

The @Parole_Board has issued a new priority framework for listing cases for oral hearings
It *now* prioritises people sentenced to #IPP as children, recognising their particular needs
Over 300 children were given IPPs
