The OLR is a life sentence which requires the risk management of serious violent and sexual offending to protect the public from serious harm. The OLR, introduced in 2006, is unique to Scotland and only available to the high court.  Find out more about the OLR here rma.scot/abo/podcast-...

Prof Alexis Jay, chair of public inquiry into child sexual abuse, says further national inquiry into grooming gangs isn’t needed & would delay action. “The time has passed for more inquiries, we’ve had enough… We’ve set out action required & people should just get on with it, nationally & locally”
