21.29 LHA representatives can make an important contribution to MAPPA given the importance of accommodation in the resettlement of offenders and the management of risk. They may not have a specific duty to accommodate an individual and the individual may not meet the qualifying criteria for the local allocations scheme, but LHA advice about accommodation, the procedures by which it is allocated and the suitability of particular housing stock is a useful contribution to MAPPA.

21.30 The Lead Agency must assess accommodation, its location, the influence of and relationship to other residents etc. to establish its relationship to the risk of serious harm. Risk of serious harm to housing staff, including those who work for LHAs and private registered providers of social housing, should be managed through the Risk Management Plan (RMP) and details should be provided through the disclosure process.
