The BWLS PAC form should be actioned as soon as it is received. This ensures that, if at all possible, BWLS programmes and hours are completed early in the sentence.
Note: The offender must meet the usual community work (CW) timeframes, and continue to undertake CW hours while a BWLS assessment is completed.
The completed PAC form sets out:
The form should be returned to CPPS within two weeks of sending the referral for assessment, and/or within one week of the confirmed assessment date.
Note: If this form is not returned within the expected timeframe, follow up with the provider or Work and Income to find out when to expect the form.
Review the returned PAC form, and consult the table for the next steps in the process.
