The Standards and Guidelines apply to an assessor appointed by the high court to complete risk assessments for individuals that are being considered for an Order for Lifelong Restriction.

The standards establish a series of mandatory elements which must be evident. The guidance sets out advisory notes to guide assessors in conducting a thorough risk assessment.
