The Sentencing Council for England and Wales was set up in April 2010 under the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 to promote greater transparency and consistency in sentencing. As successor to the former Sentencing Guidelines Council and Sentencing Advisory Panel the Council is responsible for developing and monitoring “definitive sentencing guidelines” for the judiciary. All are available to download from the site’s Sentencing Guidelines section.
