“Where the individual is in contact with the Probation Service, the COM (Community Offender Manager)/Probation Practitioner must inform the individual that they have seven calendar days to submit representations in respect of the referral and ask them to complete the representations form, attached to the Termination of IPP Licence Report. Should the individual provide their own representations, then the COM/Probation Practitioner must submit these to PPCS together with the report.”
“Upon receipt of the Termination report, PPCS is responsible for compiling and formally referring the dossier to the Parole Board. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, PPCS must not submit the dossier to the Parole Board until the individual’s representations have been received, or, if none have been received, until the 7-calendar day deadline for representations has expired. PPCS must submit the individual’s representations to the Parole Board whenever they are received, unless the Parole Board have already issued their decision.”
“I wish to make written representations through my legal representative and understand that it is my responsibility to ensure that they are aware of the deadline to submit any such representations to the Public Protection Casework Section, Public Protection Group.” “I understand that the deadline for submitting my representations is (5 working days from the date of the report completed by my Community Offender Manager).” “I understand that my case will be referred to the Parole Board once the above deadline has passed, if my representations have not been submitted by that date.” “I understand that the referral to the Parole Board, for their consideration, is an automatic process and that the Parole Board will make the final decision on whether my IPP licence should be terminated.” “I understand that I will be notified of the Parole Board’s decision on the application by my COM and/or Legal representative.”
