Review and update ROTL framework to improve consistent use and public understanding.
Recommendation
We welcome the Minister’s commitment to expanding the use of Release on temporary licence (ROTL). HMPPS should review and update its operational framework to ensure ROTL is used more consistently and proactively across the estate. The Ministry of Justice should also work to address operational barriers and improve public understanding of ROTL’s role in rehabilitation. (Recommendation, Paragraph 96) 84
