Text alternative: step 1b - make a finding on impairment

  • On the basis of the conclusions reached in step 1a, decide if the PA or AA poses any current and ongoing risk to public protection and make a finding on impairment
  • If there is no current and ongoing risk to public protection requiring restrictive action in response, make a finding of no impairment
  • If the PA or AA continues to pose a current and ongoing risk to public protection requiring restrictive action in response, make a finding of impairment, decide which parts of public protection are engaged and state the level of risk (low, medium, high)
  • Give reasons for decision
