Sentence Completion

Introduction

The final steps in the CW sentence completion process are:

finalising the sentence completion report,
advising the offender whether they have been granted remission, and
terminating the CW sentence in IOMS.

Finalising the sentence completion report

Finalisation of the sentence completion report should occur at a date prior to or at the scheduled completion of the offender’s CW hours.

The following table outlines the steps to take to finalise the sentence completion report.

Step	Action
1	Discuss the sentence completion report with the offender, including whether or not they have been granted remission. Reference: Volume 3a, Part IV, Chapter 6, Consideration for Remission (please refer to the related links section on this page). F or information on the steps to take to advise the offender about remission. If the offender raises any concerns with the content of the report, note these on the report and record in IOMS casenotes.
2	Sign the sentence completion report, and obtain the offender’s signature to confirm they have discussed and received a copy of the report. Note: If the offender refuses to sign the report, note this on the report.
3	Give the offender a copy of the report.
4	Record in IOMS casenotes that the sentence completion report has been signed and finalised.
5	Record the time taken for the finalisation of the sentence completion report with the offender against CW hours in IOMS.
6	If the offender was placed with an agency to complete their CW, send a letter to the agency: thanking them, and confirming: the number of hours to be remitted, and the remaining hours to be completed

Terminating the CW sentence in IOMS

The final task to carry out is to terminate the CW sentence in IOMS.

Note: This should only be done once the offender has completed all of the required CW hours. The required hours must be checked/calculated taking account of any:

BWLS hours completed
hours not counted for poor performance (penalty hours), and
remission hours granted.

The following table outlines the steps to take in order to action the termination in IOMS.

Step	Action
1	Enter the CW sentence order management screen in IOMS.
2	Access the sentence details screen and press ‘Terminate Sentence’.
3	Complete the relevant sections that appear on screen.
4	Terminate the sentence.
