## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

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

- What the AI does: Index the records the lawyer has obtained with the client's consent (police event reports, hospital and GP records, counselling letters) by date, author, type and page, without summarising their content.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks the index, decides which records the scheme needs and which should not be disclosed, and checks any protection over counselling or sexual assault communications before anything is sent.
- 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. Confirm the client consented to each record being obtained and used.
2. Check whether counselling notes or sexual assault communications carry a protection before any are disclosed.
3. Confirm the index holds no description of the violence beyond the document titles.

## 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.
