## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the client's documents and the lawyer's intake notes, record the scheme, the type of violence, the date, the client's age at the time, the police report details, the victim category the lawyer identifies and the time limit the lawyer computes, with the source for each entry.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides the scheme, the victim category and the time limit under the scheme's rules, checks each date against a document, and diarises the deadline.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check the date of the violence and the client's date of birth against documents.
2. Confirm the time limit was computed by the lawyer from the scheme's rules for that type of violence.
3. Record whether and when the violence was reported to police, with the event number.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
