Section 11 amends paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 21 to the Sentencing Code (mandatory life sentences: starting point of whole life order) to provide that a whole life order will normally be the appropriate starting point in cases of murder of a probation officer acting in the course of their duty and in cases of murder of a serving or former police, prison or probation officer motivated by something done by the officer in the course of their duty. This applies to murders committed on or after the day on this section comes into force.
	New paragraph (ca) adds cases of murder of an officer of a provider of probation services in the course of his or her duty to the whole life order starting point.
	New paragraph (cb) adds cases of murders motivated wholly or partly by something done by the victim in the course of their duty as a police officer, a prison officer or an officer of a provider of probation services, to the whole life order starting point.
