- the referral for consideration of licence termination by the Parole Board for those subject to indeterminate sentences of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) and Detention for Public Protection (DPP)
- automatic licence termination for those subject to indeterminate sentences of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) and Detention for Public Protection (DPP)
- further referrals to the Parole Board for licence termination, where requested by the IPP offender.
This policy replaces the managing parole eligible offenders on licence policy framework
