Summary
This consultation paper is about updating the existing arrangements for providing training courses under the Drink-Drive Rehabilitation Scheme (DDRS), including the funding arrangements.
The proposals contained in this consultation paper build on the government policy recently announced in the Strategic Framework for Road Safety in seeking to maintain the downward trend in road deaths and casualties by delivering an improved educational intervention for convicted drivers. They relate to improving the arrangements for the provision of DDRS courses.
The aim is that these proposals will create better quality courses which will encourage more offenders to take advantage of the training in order to reduce the likelihood of them re-offending.
