107RB: Biennial review of high-impact conditions

You could also call this:

"Every 2 years, the Board checks if a strict rule you must follow is still fair and working for you."

Illustration for Parole Act 2002

If you have a condition as part of your extended supervision order, the Board will review it every 2 years. A high-impact condition is a rule that says you must stay at a certain place for more than 70 hours a week or wear an electronic monitor when you are not at home. The Board will look at whether this condition is still suitable for you.

Before the review, the chief executive will tell the Board if they think the condition is still a good idea. You will be told that a review is happening and you can write to the Board with your thoughts. The Board might also ask other people for their opinions.

The Board can make a decision without talking to anyone, unless they want to hear from someone or they are thinking of making the condition stricter. After the review, the Board can keep the condition the same, get rid of it, or change it.

If the Board changes or gets rid of a high-impact condition, they will follow the rules set out in section 58(4). Sometimes, time might stop counting down on your extended supervision order, and if that happens, it also stops counting down for the 2-year review period, as stated in section 107P.
