20. Serious Case Reviews (Updated 2022)

Discontinuing an SCR

20.28 There may be occasions when the case against an offender is discontinued or the charges are reduced, taking the offender outside SCR eligibility. In these cases, the SCR process should be discontinued, unless it has already been completed or is near completion. The SMB Chair may choose to conduct a local learning review if they feel that this would help to improve practice. The National MAPPA Team must be informed when a case has been discontinued.
