The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) provides a range of activities and services to those convicted of sexual offences; these are designed to help offenders reduce their risk of harm and reoffending, as well as to promote their resettlement on release from any term of imprisonment. They include accredited sex offenders treatment programmes, delivered in custody and the community. The Active Risk Management System has been developed with the Police to manage sexual offenders’ risk more effectively. More generally, sexual offenders are also given support while transitioning back into society, with the aim of reducing reoffending.
