If new information indicates increased risk during supervision, what is the recommended action?

• A. Ignore until next review
• B. Reassess risk and adjust supervision or services accordingly
• C. Increase sanctions immediately without assessment
• D. Share sensitive info with the public

Answer: (B)

When new information shows the risk level has changed, you update your understanding and respond accordingly. Reassessing the risk with the new data and adjusting the supervision plan or services ensures responses are evidence-based, proportionate, and targeted to current needs. This approach protects public safety while using the least restrictive effective measures.

Ignore and proceed as if nothing changed risks missing warning signs and could lead to harm. Increasing sanctions immediately without an assessment can be punitive and may not address the underlying factors or the actual level of risk. Sharing sensitive information with the public is a privacy and safety violation that can undermine trust and rehabilitation.
