Text alternative: step 3: make a decision on final measure

  • 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 measures bandings (where available)
  • 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, when the final measure should take effect, and if action is needed in relation to an interim measure
  • Give reasons for decisions
