NI: Diversionary disposals consultation extended until March

A consultation on the use of diversionary disposals by the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) has been extended until March.

The PPS is updating its guidance on the use of diversionary disposals, which were introduced to simplify and speed up dealing with less serious offending.

They include adult cautions and youth restorative cautions, informed warnings, diversionary youth conferencing, Community Based Restorative Justice diversions, National Driver Alertness Course diversions, and immediate cautions.

The consultation, which began last November, will run until 8 March 2019.
