Text alternative step 2 - decision on what action to take, if any

  • If impaired, consider what final measure is proportionate i.e. is needed but no more than necessary to protect the public
  • Review decision on impairment and consider the level of current and ongoing risk the PA or AA poses to public protection
  • Refer to final measure bandings (where available) if required to assist understanding of the final measure imposed
  • Consider whether there is relevant evidence relating to the impact a certain type of final measure will have and / or relevant references and testimonials and what impact, if any, they have
  • Decide on the type and length of final measure - stand back and check if it is proportionate to meet the level of current and ongoing risk posed to public protection
  • Consider directing a review and whether the final measure should take effect immediately
  • Give reasons for decisions
