The PO writes an ARMS assessment that lists the risks based on : risk of reoffending, risk to the public and especially children, risk to themselves. Then the risk assessment is used to create a management plan. When finished the offender can see the report. It is reviewed at least yearly. Not sure if partners or exes can read it. I was there for one of the meetings and the PO is happy for me to attend occasionally.

Thank you.

Do you know the questions asked to assess risk?

What are the reasons for medium risk and low risk. How could you move down to low risk
