Issues sentencing guidelines for courts in England and Wales, used by judges, magistrates and criminal justice professionals
About sentencingcouncil.org.uk
The Sentencing Council for England and Wales is an independent, non-departmental public body, set up in April 2010 to promote greater transparency and consistency in sentencing while maintaining the independence of the judiciary. Its primary role is issuing sentencing guidelines, which courts must follow unless it is in the interests of justice not to do so.
The Council also monitors how guidelines are applied, assesses their impact on sentencing practice, and publishes information about sentencing in magistrates' courts and the Crown Court. It runs public consultations on new and revised guidelines, such as a consultation launched in October 2026 on guidelines for bladed articles and offensive weapons offences.
The Council has 14 members and is part of the Ministry of Justice family of arm's-length bodies. It is accountable to Parliament and, for public funds, to the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Justice as accounting officer.
Product: Sentencing guidelines for magistrates' courts and the Crown Court, with consultations on guideline changes and sentencing data.
