Cant lower risk from medium
Notifications OFF
My husband had just had his meeting with PO and said his risk cant be lowered because of the offence. He was convicted of 25 viewed images. However I have read on here that some people have been assessed as low. How and what did they do in order for that to happen?
Thanks
Thanks
Hi
my son is due home soon. He has had a few meetings about high, medium or low when he comes home next month. He has been told he starts as high automatic and works his way down over time. One of the persons he shared a cell with was released over one year ago. I spoke with this person recently simply because I ran into him in the street. This turned out to be a good thing because he explained a lot of how things work here in Scotland with po visits and risk assessments. It's taken him all this time to go from high to medium risk. Apparently they take a multitude of things into consideration when doing an assessment to lower your risk. Going on this it may be that your partner will be lowered as risk as time goes on. From what this man told me lowering your risk can be a long process. On the upside, he has been told that they expect him to be allowed to go home and live with his wife and children within the next six months. He said they are just needing to finish the wife's assessment and then get it signed off before he can go home . It's taking longer than usual because of the virus from what he's said. This may well give hope to other people who are worried that fathers won't ever be able to go home. The person above was not convicted of images or communication. He was convicted of sexual contact with a fifteen year old boy who was on an over eighteen dating site. I honestly believe it all comes down to what area your in, the social worker dealing it hit and your po officer. No two cases ever seem to have the same outcome whether your in England, Scotland or wales. The whole system of risk assessments, waiting time for convictions and family support needs urgently overhauled because the current system just does not work x

My partner had a mix of high and medium when he first had his assessment over a year ago. It has recently been updated but he hasn't seen it yet, will soon. It is unlikely he will go to low yet. I think it is more of a time thing rather than actions. My partner has done all that he can for rehabilitation. One thing that made him a higher risk is due to his sexual interests in swinging. We are a happy couple who enjoy the scene but it has raised flags with the PO. Not sure why they are so concerned, we are careful to ensure we speak to adults and the networks we use I have access and control over. He won't have Kik coz that made his risk higher.
Essentially the going down the risk levels cannot be easily rushed. And the PO may not be helpful in letting him know what to do to reduce the risk. My partner PO hasn't been clear at all. I worry that the judge will turn down his request for supervised access to the kids because he is overall medium risk.

Hi Rainbow
I believe the level of risk reduced by the time. My husband is low risk. He was deemed low risk under the ARMS assessment done by his PPO. The assessments covered various risk and protective factors. It covers current lifestyle of offender whether he has social life, if he still have friends with same mindset or the friends who were involved during the time of his offense, Job stability, Hobbies, Living circumstances etc.
