Episodes

Episodes are groups of related offences or antisocial behaviour incidents. You should only group offences or incidents that have similar circumstances, influences, motivations and attitudes. You cannot include offenses and antisocial behaviours in the same episode.

You can only add current offences (offences for which guilt has been admitted or established) to an episode.

An offence is current if:

• It has a plea of Guilty, Found Guilty or Offence Admitted (in any court appearance), but it has no outcome.
• It has a substantive outcome, but no linked intervention programme; it has never been included in an episode within a completed AssetPlus stage.
• It has a substantive outcome and a current intervention programme (currency defined by the start and end dates).

Offences that stop meeting these criteria while a stage is in progress remain current until the stage is stopped or completed.

When all interventions associated with the offences in an episode finish, the episode becomes historic and can no longer be updated.

An Offence can be added to an existing episode or removed if required.
