Community justice outcomes - improvement planning and reporting: statutory guidance

6. Reviewing the CJOIP

While the partners can themselves decide the lifetime of the CJOIP, they must review their plan from time to time to determine whether a revised CJOIP is required. A review of the CJOIP must also be undertaken in the following circumstances:

• When a revised National Performance Framework for Community Justice is published
• When a revised National Strategy for Community Justice is published
• When a revised Local Outcomes Improvement Plan for the local authority area is published

When undertaking a review of their CJOIP, partners may want to consider the following:

• How any changes to the strategy, framework or their Local Outcomes Improvement Plan have impacted their CJOIP.
• If the assessment of whether each of the nationally determined outcomes is being achieved remains accurate and up to date.
• If there have been any significant changes to local community justice priorities or other relevant local plans or outcomes.
• Whether the outcomes that are prioritised for action in the CJOIP remain relevant and appropriate.

Following review of a CJOIP, if the partnership decides not to make revisions, it must publish a statement indicating that it considers the plan should not be revised. A revised CJOIP where produced should be developed in line with the CJOIP preparation arrangements as outlined above. This will become the new CJOIP for the local authority area.
