CPO with Restricted Movement Requirement (RMR)
Details of all Specific national or local scheme/intervention(s) available
Restricted Movement Requirement as requirement of CPO – Electronic monitoring is well established as a potential sentencing disposal assessed at Criminal Justice Social Work Report stage, via the Restriction of Liberty Order. In addition, the ability to impose a Restricted Movement Requirement (similar to an RLO) has been available as an additional requirement for a Community Payback Order (however only as a sanction for breaching the terms of the original Community Payback Order (CPO) and could not be imposed at first instance).
The introduction of the Restricted Movement Requirement on a Community Payback Order (CPO) at first disposal are recent (May 2022) changes for Justice Social Work Services. This requirement is similar to a Restriction of Liberty Order in that it allows an individual to be restricted to a particular place for up to 12 hours a day or restricted away from a particular place for up to 24 hours a day.
A Supervision Requirement (therefore requiring statutory Justice SW supervision) must be imposed in tandem when an RMR is imposed as part of a CPO. The Restriction of Liberty Order (RLO) remains available to the Court and can continue to be imposed as a stand-alone sentence or concurrent to a CPO.
Possible Outcomes
Reduction in risk of reoffending, improved opportunities for service user, linked into other appropriate services
